Satwik-Chirag set to reclaim world no.1 ranking after annihilating Chia-Soh

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty reached their second straight final in two weeks in a row on the BWF World Tour on Saturday at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall in New Delhi, as they beat their arch-nemesis Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia in the India Open Super 750 men's doubles semifinal.

Now, following their ascendency to the India Open final, the Indian pair, who became the world no. 1 in October last year following their Asian Games gold medal-winning show in Hangzhou before losing the spot to Liang and Wang, will reclaim the spot in the men's doubles category.
