BWF profile

Chirag Chandrashekhar Shetty (born 4 July 1997) is an Indian badminton player.[2][3] He and his partner, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, are the first men's doubles pair from India to be ranked inside the top 10 of the BWF World Ranking, with a career-high ranking of 7. He won the gold medal at 2022 Commonwealth Games in men’s doubles.[4]

Career

In 2018, Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy played a crucial role in earning India a historic gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where they also won the men's doubles silver.[5]

In 2019, Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy became the first Indian doubles pair to win a BWF Superseries or BWF World Tour (Super 500+) title, when they won the Thailand Open title, beating the Chinese pair of Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen in the final.[6] They followed it up with a runner-up finish at the 2019 French Open, where they lost in the final to the Indonesian pair of Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.[7]

In 2021, Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy lost to the Indonesian duo of Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan in the second round to crash out of the 2020 Yonex Thailand Open.[8] In July, he and Rankireddy competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, but were eliminated in the group stage, following a loss to Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. However, they were the only pair in the entire tournament who defeated eventual gold medalists Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin, whom they had narrowly beaten in their first group stage encounter.[9] In December, Shetty and Rankireddy qualified for the BWF World Tour Finals for the first time in their career, but withdrew from the tournament after a loss in their first group stage match to the Danish pair of Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen.

In 2022, Shetty and Rankireddy showed stone-cold nerves as they turned the tables on a losing match. Having lost the first set to the Indonesian duo of Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Mohammad Ahsan, they displayed immense perseverance and tenacity to win the second set and finish the third set at 21-19, giving India a 2-0 lead over Indonesia. This was pivotal in helping India bag its maiden Thomas Cup Trophy. Speculations from ecstatic fans as posted in an article in the Times of India suggest that this laurel could also demarcate the changing landscape of Indian badminton for the better![10] They also won the men's doubles gold at 2022 Commonwealth games beating Ben Lane and Sean Vendy in the final.
