India Open: Focus On Consistent Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty As Hosts Field Largest-Ever Contingent

Spotlight will be firmly on the consistent Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty as they lead the host nation's largest-ever contingent at the star-studded India Open Super 750, beginning in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Despite the disappointment at the Paris Olympics, the duo has emerged as India's most reliable performers over the last two years, regularly advancing deep into draws, and there will not be any exception in the USD 950,000 event.
