Making a grand debut at the Tokyo Paralympics, para badminton action will kick off at the Yoyogi Stadium from today and we have a star-studded line-up of Indian shuttlers who are eager to show and #SmashforGlory!

It appears as though there has been a DQ for Suyash

The reasons will be verified later but the final results show that Suyash has been given a DSQ

Suyash ends in 7th

It wasnt to be for the Indian as he slows down in the first 50m and ends in the last position amongst all competitors. 

Suaysh has slipped to 7th now
