Indian badminton has a new historic chapter. Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand have guaranteed India a medal at the BWF World Championships, ending a 14-year wait for a women’s doubles podium finish at the prestigious event. The Indian pair produced a remarkable comeback against China’s fourth-seeded duo Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian, recovering after losing the opening game to win a thrilling three-game contest. The victory makes Treesa and Gayatri the first Indian women’s doubles pair since 2011 to secure a World Championship medal.
