    Ningbo Olympic Sports Center: Indian shuttler Ayush Shetty stuns World No. 7 Li Shi Feng with a dominant straight-games win to sail into the second round of the Badminton Asia Championships on Wednesday.

    Ayush registered a 21-13, 21-16 win over fifth-seed Chinese in a match that lasted 51 minutes at the Ningbo Olympic Sports Center. This was Ayush's first career meeting with the 2023 All England Open winner. He will next play world No. 20 Chi Yu Jen of Taipei for a place in the quarterfinals.

    This is not the first time that world no. 25 Ayush has beaten a higher-ranked player. Last year, he staged a superb comeback to beat world No. 6 Chou Tien-chen of Chinese Taipei in the US Open semi-final and went on to win the title after beating Brian Yang of Canada.
