India's Dhruv-Tanisha Exit Mixed Doubles BWF Quarterfinals Paris

India's mixed doubles badminton pair Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto made a historic run at the BWF World Championships in Paris, reaching the quarterfinals before losing to the world No. 4 Malaysian duo Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei in straight games. Their campaign included a notable upset over the fifth-seeded Hong Kong pair Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet, marking the best-ever Indian performance in mixed doubles at the World Championships. Despite their loss, Dhruv and Tanisha's performance was a significant milestone as they were just one win away from securing India's first-ever mixed doubles medal at the event. The Indian contingent's hopes remain high with two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu and the men's doubles team of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty progressing to the quarterfinals, aiming to add to India's medal tally. Sindhu secured her quarterfinal spot by defeating world No. 2 Wang Zhi Yi, while the men's doubles pair also advanced after a tough match against Malaysian second seeds Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik. The overall Indian campaign in Paris continues with strong prospects in both singles and doubles categories.
