My long wait for another Indian winning the title is over and let’s hope this tradition continuous.” Khanna, who hails from Punjab, was a sprightly 22-year-old when he had sown the seeds of success in Indian badminton with a win over Thailand’s Sangob Rattanusorn in the men’s singles final in Lucknow on 14 November, 1965. “Also this coming through a doubles combination is absolutely fantastic because doubles till a few years back was not being considered our strong point.” Satwik and Chirag, who claimed the Swiss Open Super 300 title in Basel, showed tremendous grit as they never gave up after losing the first game and being 7-13 and 11-15 down in the second and third game to secure the first gold for India in doubles.
