There is nobody more qualified in Indian badminton than Leroy D`Sa to talk about doubles in badminton. The only Indian shuttler to win four medals at the Asian Games, D`Sa is one of the finest doubles players the country has ever produced, and his success came at a time when doubles was the ignored art. D`Sa had to regularly set up scratch partnerships with top male and female singles players like Prakash Padukone, Ami Ghia, and Kanwal Thakur Singh to win medals in Asian Games doubles and mixed doubles.
So when Leroy D`Sa picks a pair as a favourite to win a medal at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, one has to sit down and take note of it.
