Shaikh but managed to produce some brilliant efforts to carve out a deserving 23-13, 25-5 win to also move ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Hassan Nazim of Maldives was not as fortunate and after taking the first crash out, lost to India\u2019s Sudhir Mahapure in three sets at 23-1, 6-25, 8-25 in another first-round encounter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, Indian contenders Anant Bhute and Dinesh Pol gallantly fought back to record come-from-behind victories. Bhute narrowly lost the first set but played with greater determination in the next two to defeat compatriot Ashok Gangavane 15-17, 15-8, 25-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pol also suffered a setback against countryman Pinkesh Karia, losing the opening set. But, he bounced back in style to pocket the next two sets to complete a deserving 9-15, 20-4, 11-10 victory and progress to the second round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Results \u2013 Rourd-1:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gihan Chamara (SRI) bt Sanjay Desai (IND) 25-0, 25-12; Dinesh Pol (IND) bt Pinkesh Karia (IND) 9-15, 20-4, 11-10; Ibrahim Hujaan Ali (MDV) bt Habiboddin S.
