The Four Eyes that keep Satwik & Chirag on the right track

The Four Eyes that keep Satwik & Chirag on the right track

Published by Webster

The day Satwik-Chirag defeated World No 1s Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho on way to the Singapore Open Super 750 title, silent preparations were ongoing in Hyderabad and Mumbai, and wherever Mathias Boe was hunched over his laptop. The backroom analysis focused on how to prepare for the same Koreans the next time. Defeated in straight games, Seo-Kim are expected to hit the drawing board with Korean doubles great and legendary coach Park Joo-bong, and ensure Seo would figure ways to foil the strategy of being pushed to the back-court by the Indians. Team Satwik-Chirag was readying to counter these counter-strikes. ‘Four eyes see better than two,’ went Matthias Boe’s announcement on Instagram of “secret” intelligence-sharing that has admittedly happened behind the scenes. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty and their Malaysian coach Tan Kim Her have all been in cahoots with Boe for a month now, plotting against the best names in men’s doubles from Korea, Indonesia, China, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Just days after he clinched a gold medal at the 2026 Indian Open Para Athletics International Championship in Bengaluru, 400m sprinter Chirag Tyagi was found dead in Ghaziabad on Saturday. Tyagi, who had won the men’s 400m T12 event with a timing of 50.12s, was reportedly shot dead. The 25-year-old para athlete was found with a bullet injury at Sai Upvan in the Kotwali Police Station area. As per a report in The Week, the accused is a fellow para athlete by the name of Yash Khatik. “Prima facie, the case appears to be a murder,” Dhawal Jaiswal, DCP Ghaziabad, was quoted by media. “CCTV footage showed a suspect who was detained and questioned. He confessed to the murder. The accused has been identified as Yash Khatik,” he added. Khatik and Tyagi used to train together previously with both competing in separate categories for visually impaired athletes. Tyagi had reportedly filed a complaint against Khatik surrounding his documents, which led to the latter’s Asian Para Games qualification being nullified. Hence, he committed the murder in …

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty suffer blowout in Thailand Open finals as tall-person problems persist

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty suffer blowout in Thailand Open finals as tall-person problems persist

Published by Webster

Riding confidence would be one way to go about the next two years for Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, but that is not sustainable, given how losses on Tour are bound to drag it down in a jiffy. What was broken at the Olympics – their spirit – can only be mended at the Olympics. But in the meantime, the bruised game can be patched back, so it doesn’t fritter a good week with a terrible finish – a 21-12, 25-23 loss to Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin at the Super 500 Thailand Open. Their first final in 8 months after China Masters, was also about nerves, just like that straight sets loss to Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho in September of 2025. For a pair that used to pick titles easily, a mid-career crisis has hit, where some very solvable issues in their games need solving — technically. Though when Satwik says problems are more mental than physical, he is not off the mark. His own confidence crisis is very clearly dating back …

Chirag Shetty, HS Prannoy rue lack of recognition, support for Thomas Cup team

As the Indian men’s badminton team landed in the country with a bronze medal from the 2026 Thomas Cup on Tuesday, doubles star Chirag Shetty posted an Instagram story. “Back home now. As usual, no one knows what happened over the past two weeks, and it seems like no one cares,” the story read. Shetty, who has been the most vocal of shuttlers over the last four years about the lack of recognition he and his counterparts received for the 2022 Thomas Cup win, was ruing the same lack of support from his countrymen. The story was also reshared by his doubles partner Satwiksairaj Rankireddy as the duo expressed their disappointment. “I never expected anyone to come to the airport and receive us,” said Shetty in a media interaction felicitated by Sports Authority of India (SAI). “The last time when we when Thomas Cup we were felicitated by the Badminton Association of India (BAI) and Prime Minister, but I feel it didn’t get celebrated as much as it should be by the fans. “The people …

“The rules need to change,” says Chirag Shetty on the Thomas Cup match format

“The rules need to change,” says Chirag Shetty on the Thomas Cup match format

Published by Webster

India’s shot at reclaiming their Thomas Cup title, quite possibly, ended before their semi-final clash against France even began in Horsens, Denmark on Saturday. The Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) match-order rules, which let France play their stronger suit of three singles matches effectively put India on the backfoot tactically. The injury and subsequent absence of Lakshya Sen didn’t help either as India went down 0-3 with their ace doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty not even needed to step on court. In a media interaction felicitated by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Tuesday, Chirag shied away from complaining about the rules but put out a well-reasoned argument for reform. “I think a lot of the badminton-playing nations would want to change the way the ties are because it sort of advantages France for all the matches they played,” said Chirag. “Because if they have to win a tie, it has to be in the first three matches.” He pointed to the final as further evidence: When Shi Yu Qi won the …

Mumbai is getting its fifth cricket stadium. Chirag Shetty, World No. 1, has no arena to call home | Badminton News

4 min readApr 12, 2026 08:51 AM IST Chirag Shetty will be the last person to carp about cricket — he loves the sport, and doesn’t just watch it but plays it too. He’s a proper Mumbaikar that way. Most Indian top athletes adore cricket, feel elated as fans when the Indian Cricket Team wins, and know their IPL jargon. But does Mumbai, a global metropolis, respect Chirag Shetty — a former World No. 1, twice World Championship medallist, Asiad and Asian Championships title holder, and Thomas Cup champion in badminton? News of Mumbai getting probably the biggest, largest, swankiest, cleverest cricket stadium to host over a lakh trickled out this week. That will be the city’s fifth cricket venue after Wankhede, Brabourne, DY Patil and BKC — only because all ICC finals keep getting allotted to Ahmedabad, and somebody let it slip that Wankhede was too small a capacity, despite it doing fairly alright all these years across all formats. So Mumbai gets dragged into the laughable competition of who has the biggest stadium. …
