The Hangzhou Asian Games: The Indian men's doubles badminton duo of Satwik and Chirag expressed their joy of reuniting with Tan Kim Her as a coach and revealed their emotional bond with the Malaysian doubles specialist, who was the person behind the making of the "deadly duo" of Satwik and Chirag back in 2016.

Tan took over from Danish Olympic medallist Mathias Boe, who announced his retirement from coaching roles post the Paris 2024 Olympics, where Satwik and Chirag reached the quarterfinals.

Speaking about the return of the Malaysian doubles specialist, who had a successful four-year spell from 2015 to 2019 with the Indian shuttlers, at the India Open pre-tournament press conference, Chirag said, "The approach is a lot more different than it was in 2016 because right now, we are quite established on the world tour. Back then it was a lot more directional; now it's a lot more conversational, where we discuss what needs to be done."
