Ayush Shetty proud of silver, eyes World No.1 after Asia Championships run
Ayush Shetty’s dream run at the Badminton Asia Championships ended with a silver medal after a straight-game loss to Shi Yu Qi in the final.
The young Indian went down 8-21, 10-21 against the reigning world champion but produced a memorable campaign. Ayush became the first Indian men’s singles medallist since HS Prannoy in 2018. His journey included stunning wins over Li Shi Feng, Jonatan Christie, and world No. 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn.
Despite falling short in the final, the 20-year-old’s performance signals a bright future for Indian badminton on the continental stage.
