Asian Games gold medalist duo, Satwik-Chirag lifted the Thailand Open Super 500 badminton trophy on May 19 in the men's doubles final. The Indian pair defeated Chinese duo of Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi in straight sets to another piece of silverware in their trophy-laden cabinet.

“So happy to win back in Thailand. We won our first Super series here as well as the Thomas Cup,” the Indian pair were quoted from their post-match interview.

Satwik-Chirag climbed up two spots to take the numero uno spot with 99.670 points, as per the latest updated rankings.

'Sat-Chi' pair have already clinched the French Open title this year in March and now will eye the 'big fish' - a gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024.
