India shuttler Malvika Bansod, who lost to Thailand’s Lalinrat Chaiwan 12-21, 14-21 in the women’s singles semi-final of the Guwahati Masters Super 100 badminton tournament on Saturday, is satisfied with her performance in the tournament, considering she took some time to recover from dengue and typhoid after her return from the Asian Games (September 23- October 8).

“In Guwahati, I started playing well but in the semi-finals, Chaiwan, whom I beat at the Asian Badminton Junior championship in 2019, was able to execute her plan better. Meanwhile, I could not get my flow in the game. Also, after my return from the Asian Games, I suffered from dengue and typhoid, leading to a lot of weakness. It took a long time to recover. I'm glad that I'm regaining the groove,” Bansod told www.mid-day.com.
