Jakarta, June 18

The men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty on Sunday scripted history as they became the first ever Indians to lift a Super 1000 title after winning the final of Indonesia Open 2023 badminton championship against Malaysia’s Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik here.

Satwik and Chirag, who are ranked sixth in the World, beat Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik 21-17, 21-18 in the men’s doubles final to claim their first ever Super 1000 title.

The Indian pair had earlier cruised into the final, defeating South Korea’s Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae in three hard-fought games 17-21, 21-19, 21-18 in the first semifinal on Saturday.

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).
