Tokyo 2020: India men's doubles badminton player Chirag Shetty admits difficult to digest early Olympic exit

India Today  

India’s men’s doubles badminton players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, ranked world no 10, won two of their three group matches but failed to qualify for the knockout stage after games won by each pair were considered to decide the two qualifiers following a three-way tie. However, they lost to top seeded Indonesian pair of Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamkuljo before claiming a straight game win over Great Britain's Ben Lane and Sean Vendy in their last group match. Chirag Shetty admitted it was difficult to come to terms with the early exit from the Tokyo Games but said he and his partner would look to utilise the Olympic experience to win medals at the upcoming events, especially the World Championships in December. Chirag also lauded the Indian Olympic contingent for its best ever performance with seven medals -- one gold, two silver and four bronze.
