Badminton Asia Championships: Dhruv-Tanisha Bow Out in Quarterfinals, Ending India’s Campaign

India’s challenge at the Badminton Asia Championships came to an end after Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto lost their quarterfinal match. The Indian mixed doubles pair fought hard but could not defeat their higher-ranked opponents in a tough contest.

The match started with both pairs showing strong determination. Dhruv and Tanisha played aggressively in the first game and tried to keep up the pressure with sharp smashes and quick net play. However, their opponents returned most of their shots and stayed calm during long rallies.

Despite their efforts, the Indian pair lost the first game 17-21. They came back stronger in the second game and led for a short period. Dhruv made powerful shots from the back of the court while Tanisha supported him well at the net. Still, the experienced opponents handled the pressure better and turned the game around.

In the final moments, Dhruv and Tanisha tried to force errors from their rivals, but the other pair stayed focused. Eventually, the Indian duo lost the second game 18-21, which ended the match and India’s campaign in the tournament.

This result means that no Indian player or pair remains in the competition. Earlier in the tournament, other top Indian players also lost in the early rounds. Now, fans will have to wait for the next big event to see their favorite players in action again.

Although the loss is disappointing, Dhruv and Tanisha showed great teamwork and spirit. They gained valuable experience by reaching the quarterfinals at such a high-level tournament. With more practice and support, they can come back stronger in future competitions.

In the end, India’s run at the Badminton Asia Championships ended with this defeat, but the team showed promise for the future. Now, the focus will shift to upcoming international tournaments, where Indian shuttlers will aim for better results.
