Satwik-Chirag keep India's streak alive

India is only one of the two countries to have won medals in every edition of the BWF World Championships since 2011. The tradition started by Ashwini Ponnappa-Jwala Gutta with a mixed doubles bronze was carried forward by Saina Nehwal and Sindhu for the rest of 2010s.

The men's singles shuttlers like Kidambi Srikanth, Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, B Sai Praneeth chipped in and Satwik-Chirag with their semi-final run have ensured that streak stays alive.

Can the former world No 1 pair, who already have a bronze, go one step further this time?
