India’s top men’s doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty became the first Indian duo to clinch the top honours at the Badminton Asia Championships here on Sunday after winning a three-set thriller against Ong/Teo 16-21, 21-17, 21-19. The pair are also India's first medalists in the event since Dinesh Khanna's gold medal in singles in 1965.

The Indian duo sealed a spot in the summit clash after their opponents, the Tokyo Olympic champions Chinese Taipei’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin, retired midway through the second game of their semi-final clash.
