Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty Will Be The Ones To Beat In Paris Olympics: Pullela Gopichand
Chief national badminton coach Pullela Gopichand on Monday singled out world number one doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty as favourites for an Olympic medal and said two-time medallist PV Sindhu too is on the right path and can deliver once again at the Paris Games. Returning after a long injury layoff, double Olympic medalist Sindhu led India's women's team to a historic gold at the Badminton Asia Team Championships. Satwik and Chirag, on the other hand, have been on a dream run with successive runner-up finishes in 2023 China Open and Malaysia Open Super 1000 and India Open Super 750 this season to emerge as the world No 1 doubles pair.
