India’s Ayush Shetty stormed into the final with a stunning three-game win over top seed and defending champion Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn, assuring himself of at least a silver medal at the Badminton Asia Championships here on Saturday (April 11, 2026).
The world No. 25 rode on his superior attack and robust defence to script a sensational 10-21, 21-19, 21-17 comeback win over Vitidsarn, the Paris Olympics silver medallist and 2023 world champion.
