Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: While India's top hope in women's singles, P.V Sindhu made a premature exit, the men's doubles combine of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty kept the Tricolour fluttering by reaching the semifinals of the India Open BWF Super 750 event here on Friday.

On a day on which India's campaign in singles came to an end with the defeat of Sindhu in women's singles and Kiran George in men's, Asian Games gold medallists Satwik and Chirag stayed on course for their second consecutive final with straight games win over Korea’s Yong Jin and Kang Min Hyuk in the men’s doubles quarterfinals of the BWF World Tour Super 750 event at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall here.

Satwik and Chirag were at their dominant best in their quarterfinal encounter against South Korea’s Yong Jin and Kang Min Hyuk, winning 21-10, 21-17 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium here.
