The Indian duo of Pramod Bhagat and Sukant Kadam have been on a roll, winning gold in the men’s doubles SL3-SL4 category in their last three tournaments. The para-shuttlers emerged victorious in the Brazil Para-Badminton International, Spanish Para-Badminton International and the Thailand Para-Badminton Tournament last year.
Bhagat, 34, wasn’t too ecstatic after defeating the Korean pair of Joo Dongjae and Shink Kyung Kwan in Brazil last Monday, but was relieved to become World No. 1 in the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings. “I am happy that our new pairing has worked. Just after four or five tournaments, we have become No. 1. The decision to change your partner is a tough one, but when you start getting the results, you feel satisfied. Hopefully, we will do well in the Asian Games and World Championships as well,” Bhagat told www.mid-day.com on Sunday.
