India recorded their best-ever performance at the Asian Para-Badminton Championships in Thailand, winning 27 medals, including four golds.Their previous highest tally was 13 medals in the 2016 edition.

The standout performers included Sukant Kadam and Nitesh Kumar who delivered one of the tournament’s most thrilling encounters in the final of the SL3-SL4 men’s doubles.  The duo beat compatriots Jagadesh Dilli and Naveen Sivakumar in a three-set match that ended 21-17, 11-21, 21-11.

Reflecting on the tournament, Kadam said, “It was one of those finals where you have to dig deep and trust your training. This gold is a result of staying focused on the small things that make a difference.”
