The doubles duo of Satwik and Chirag continued their fine form to defeat Chinese Taipei's Lu Ching Yao & Yang Po Han to clinch the French Open title and become the first Indian doubles pair to win a BWF Super 750 tournament.
The fourth-seeded Indian saved six match points in the second game, but lost the final 21-14, 22-20 to become only the fourth Indian to win a silver medal in the competition.
The Indian team for the prestigious tournament, to be held after a gap of two years following the Covid pandemic, was selected after a thorough selection process that included two All India Ranking tournaments and a selection trial in Raipur.
