Thomas Cup intrigue: Can Ayush Shetty topple Chun-Yi? | Badminton News

5 min readApr 30, 2026 07:32 PM IST The spectre of Lin Chun-Yi hangs on the India vs Chinese Taipei Thomas Cup 2026 quarterfinals tie on Friday. Known to Indians as the man who defeated Ayush Shetty in the finals of the Badminton Asia Championships, and to many in Delhi as the winner of the India Open Super 750, Chun-Yi. is an All England champion, and the next in line of Taiwanese titans in the making. As India were drawn to play Taiwan, the immediate concern was the second Men’s Singles, which will once more pit Ayush against Chun-Yi. Given the fast court conditions and his results this year, he threatens a blowout for Ayush Shetty. But Chun-Yi did not play in the Sweden and Korea tie (which Taiwan lost 2-3), before turning up against Denmark where he went down to Magnus Johannesen 17-21, 21-16, 21-19 in the 3-2 win, putting a question mark on his fitness.

I appeal to youths who haven’t got a political chance but committed to serve the people to join our organisation,” said Moquim.

He also attacked the BJP dispensation, saying the previous regime (BJD) and the current one (BJP) are two sides of the same coin. “The people of Odisha change the regime …

Amelia Kerr smashes unbeaten 179 as New Zealand topple India’s world record for highest Women’s ODI chase | Cricket News

2 min readUpdated: Apr 1, 2026 08:11 PM IST Captain Amelia Kerr was front and centre as New Zealand pulled off a world-record chase of 347 to beat South Africa by two wickets in a thrilling second ODI on Wednesday in Wellington. Kerr was unbeaten on 179 off 139 balls as New Zealand completed the chase with two balls to spare.
