BWF World Championships: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty said they felt a sense of redemption after securing India’s first medal at the BWF World Championships by defeating Malaysia’s two-time Olympic medallists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the quarterfinals.

The world No. 3 pair defeated the Malaysians in straight games, 21-12, 21-19, in 43 minutes to seal their second medal at the prestigious World Championships.

The Indian pair lost to the same opponents on the same court in the Paris Olympics, missing out on their maiden quadrennial accolade last year.
