India’s top men’s doubles duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty cruised into the finals of Indonesia Open for the first time after defeating South Korea’s Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae in the semifinal on Saturday.
They defeated the South Korean pair by 17-21, 21-19, 21-18 in the semifinal. The Indians lost the first game but bounced back in the next two games, which turned out to be extremely competitive and intense.
This is their first final appearance at a BWF World Tour Super 1000 event as well, according to the Badminton Association of India (BAI).
