<p dir="ltr">The Indian shuttler found his footing in the second game, crusing to a 21-13 win against his Japanese opponent.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, India&#8217;s Pramod Bhagat, who is also the reigning world champion, claimed a historic gold in this event, defeating Bethell in the summit clash.</p>
