Malaysia Open: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy & Chirag Shetty enter into finals

In the men’s doubles of the Malaysia Open Badminton in Kuala Lumpur, the duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have entered the finals. 

In the semi-final, the Indian pair came back from 11-18 down in the second game to win and claim a 21-18, 22-20 victory over Korea’s Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae.

The Indian duo thus became the first Indians in any discipline to make it to the final of the Malaysia Open in the Open Era (since 1983).
 
The Indian duo had brushed aside China’s World No. 32 pairing of He Ji Ting and Ren Xiang Yu 21-11, 21-8 in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
