The defeat prevented them from reaching their very first world championships final, but their performance maintained the line of India to win at least one medal at every BWF world championships since 2011.The Indian couple started strong, but could not maintain their momentum against the Chinese opponents. After they had dropped the first match 19-21, they fought back to win the second match 21-18, forcing a decisive third game.The Chinese couple dominated the last match with an impressive 9-0, eventually securing their place in the final with a convincing victory.“I didn’t really get a rhythm. We didn’t really get a rhythm. I think we didn’t start so well. We have given away very easy points. They also served pretty well. But I think we should have been a little smarter. But credit to them, they served quite well from the start of the third game,” Chirag said after the match.“I felt that they played with much more self -confidence. As we did in the earlier matches. Simply maybe body language. They were a little more enjoyed than we did. Maybe in the first game when we led, although they were down, they just gave what they had. I think we did that in the previous games,” Satwik said.

“We played very well in the patches, patches. Again, in the third game I think he (Chirag) got a good feeling. It is all a matter of trust how mentally strong you are. But in the third game that rack cost us. Maybe we would have done something else at that stage, “Satwik added.“I think they have served reasonably well from the start of the third game. I think we could have made a few changes here and there. Not really hurrying in the service because they served quite deep. But yes, there was an honor to them that they could put us out of place,” Chirag thought about the third game.These bronze medal markings Satwik-Chirag’s second at the BWF world championships, after their previous bronze in the Tokyo edition of 2022.“I think this week was really good. Played a number of really good matches. Beat players there we didn’t have a good album in the previous matches. But yes, sad that we couldn’t play that final. We really wanted to play that final. But yes, in general Chirag said about their performance.
