Indian shuttler Kiran George said his giant-killing act at the Thailand Open Super 500 earlier this year gave him the self-belief that proved to be the key en route his second BWF title at the Indonesia Masters in Medan today. The 23-year-old, who had won his first title at Odisha Open Super 100 last year, beat Koo Takahashi 21-19 22-20 in a 56-minute final clash.

“In the first three months, I struggled a bit with my form but in Thailand I started playing well and beat some good players. That gave me the self-belief that I could beat anyone,” Kiran said.

Kiran had made a lot of heads turn when he stunned former All England champion Shi Yuqi in Thailand.

Next up for Kiran is the Hong Kong Super 500, starting on Tuesday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
