Faridabad , Jantantra Today\u00a0 \/\u00a0 China, April 12, 2026 :——-<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Ayush Shetty\u2019s debut run came to an end with a Silver medal at the Badminton Asia Championships as he went down in a tough battle against World No. 2 Shi Yu Qi of China 21-8, 21-10 in men\u2019s singles final on Sunday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The twenty-year-old created history becoming the first Indian to win silver at the event and the first men\u2019s singles finalist in 61 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Shetty couldn\u2019t carry forward his momentum from previous rounds as the experienced Chinese proved too hard for the India youngster. Taking the lead early in Game 1, Shi allowed little space for Ayush to fight back.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ayush who managed to begin the second game stronger with a 5 point lead at 7-2, couldn\u2019t hold the strong start as the Chinese took control once again equalising the score at 7 all, eventually sealing\u00a0the victory.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The tournament proved the youngster\u2019s potential and the bright future of Indian badminton as he posed serious threats to the world\u2019s top players defeating WR 1, 3 & 7 along the way.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
