In badminton, India’s Ayush Shetty entered the second round of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 after defeating China’s Weng Hong Yang in a comeback victory, winning 8-21, 22-20, 21-15. India also registered a notable win in mixed doubles, with Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Gadde defeating Chinese Taipei’s Yang Po-Hsuan and Hu Ling Fang in straight games, 21-14, 21-14.

However, it was a disappointing day for Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, who retired hurt from their opening-round men’s doubles match against Malaysia’s Kang Min Hyuk and Man Wei Chong after Satwik suffered an injury. In men’s singles, HS Prannoy bowed out after a hard-fought three-game loss to Ireland’s Nhat Nguyen.

Meanwhile, India’s campaign in the women’s singles event will gather pace later this evening when Unnati Hooda takes on Japan’s former world champion Nozomi Okuhara.
