Malvika & Priyanshu, shuttlers with aspirations, show plenty of grit against high-quality rivals

- ANMOL GURUNG @New Delhi

BADMINTON at the elite level is unforgiving. Malvika Bansod and Priyanshu Rajawat can attest to that. While facing elite-status opponents in their respective matches in the ongoing India Open on Wednesday, the singles specialists went toe-to-toe to leave a notable impression. Although that didn't stop them from being on the losing side, they walked away with a valuable lesson or two.

Malvika stood against Han Yue, the World No 4 shuttler from China while Priyanshu locked horns with Kodai Naraoka, the World No 7 from Japan. Under normal circumstances, a first-round loss is something that can be soul-crushing. But for someone like Malvika and Priyanshu, the manner in which they operated on the day was uplifting.
