The duo was against the formidable pair of Mohammad Ahsan and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, who clinched the first set 21-18. But Shetty-Rankireddy bounced back just like Lakshya and won the next two sets 23-21, 21-19.
Lastly, Kidambi Srikanth, who has remained unbeaten in the entire tournament, continued with his excellent form on the ultimate day as well. One of the best Indian badminton players of all time went on to beat the Indonesian ace Jonathan Christie 21-15, 23-21 and register the historic moment in the name of his country.
