The star Indian badminton duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty created history by winning the men's doubles title at the Indonesia Open on Sunday as theybecame the first doubles pair from the country to claim a Super 1000 event.

"We had prepared very well for this event. We knew the crowd will be supporting us. They have supported us all
week. This has been amazing week for us. We played amazing badminton today. We didn't have good head-tohead record against them, so wanted to play one point at a time and it fetched the result for us," said Satwiksairaj
Satwiksairaj and Chirag gained initiative midway through the first game and they never really gave a sniff to their fancied opponents since then.In the second game as well, the Indian pair did not allow their opponents to break free and a four-point streak.
