Bronze at World C'ships feels like redemption after Olympic pain, says Chirag

Business To Business, New Delhi, 02 September 2025: "It feels like a profound act of redemption," proclaims Chirag Shetty, one half of the illustrious SatChi duo that ensured India did not exit the just-concluded World Badminton Championships in Paris without a medal— a city where the pair endured the most devastating disappointment of their careers.
 
Chirag, alongside his long-standing partner Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, secured the men's doubles bronze last week. The world No. 9 pair achieved a commanding victory over Malaysia’s two-time Olympic medalists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the quarterfinals, thereby earning their second-ever World Championship medal.
 
Nevertheless, their aspiration to become the first Indian men's doubles team to reach the final was thwarted by a defeat to China's 11th-seeded duo, Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi, in the semifinals.
