Telangana’s Bhukya and Odisha’s Patri Held National U-13 Badminton Titles- Key Points

  • Patri won her maiden National U-13 Ranking Tournament in Maharashtra earlier this month, and Patri was in sublime touch against Agra’s Gautam.
  • Tossing and placing the shuttle well, Patri kept Gautam on her toes with cross-court volleys to take the first game.
  • In the second round, Gautam tried to narrow the lead after trailing 5-9, dribbling the shuttle at the net, Patri was too good in her placements and forced Gautam to commit a series of unforced errors before wresting the game as well as the match.
  • In the boy’s final, Bhukya found Boba quite tough to handle in the first game as the Andhra shuttler raced to a 15-11 lead before winning the game at 21-19.
  • After the change of ends, fourth-seeded Bhukya came from behind to beat Boba.
  • It was neck-and-neck in the decider, but Bhukya kept his nerves under control to clinch the issue after drawing parity at 20-all.
