Just four months back, Prannoy had created a flutter when he dispatched Chong Wei in straight games in the Indonesia Super Series Premier.

The unseeded Indian dished out another superb performance to oust the former World No. 1 Malaysian 21-17, 11-21, 21-19. "I am happy to beat him again today. Even at this age, he is one of the best players, who can play in any conditions. "I am not thinking much ahead as I have done this before but couldn't win the title so I will just look at the next match," Prannoy said.
