India stamped its authority at the 2nd Asian Squash Doubles Championships with a commanding performance, clinching all three titles, men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles on Thursday.

In the men’s doubles final, top seeds Abhay Singh and Velavan Senthilkumar showcased remarkable resilience to overcome a slow start and defeat Pakistan’s Noor Zaman and Nasir Iqbal in a gripping contest. Despite dropping the opening game 9-11, the Indian duo stormed back with conviction, taking the next two sets 11-5, 11-5 to seal a 2-1 victory in an intense match that stretched for 88 minutes. Their journey to the final had earlier seen them get the better of Hong Kong’s Chi Him Wong and Ming Hong Tang in the semifinals.

The women’s doubles title was secured by the second-seeded pairing of Joshna Chinappa and Anahat Singh, who also had to dig deep after trailing early in the final. The Indian duo rallied strongly to outlast Malaysia’s Ainaa Amani and Xin Ying Yee in a thrilling 2-1 win, with game scores of 8-11, 11-9, 11-10. Their semifinal challenge saw them overcome Po Yui Kirstie Wong and Yee Lam Toby Tse of Hong Kong with a composed and clinical performance.
