BWF World Championships: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty clinch historic bronze after narrow loss in semis

 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty capped off a memorable campaign with a historic bronze medal in the men's doubles competition of the World Championships after going down narrowly to Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the semifinals on Saturday. The world number 7 Indian pair, which had claimed the Commonwealth Games men's doubles gold early this month, flattered to deceive as it squandered an opening game advantage to go down 22-20 18-21 16-21 to the Olympic bronze medallists in a pulsating 77-minute clash, bringing an end to the Indian challenge at the prestigious tournament.
