Chirag Shetty (born 4 July 1997) is an Indian badminton player.[1] With his doubles partner Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, he has won double bronze medals at the World Championships as well as gold medals at the Asian Games, Asian Championships and Commonwealth Games. Shetty and Rankireddy are the only Indian doubles pair to reach number 1 in the world ranking and win the World Tour Super 1000. They are also the first Indians to win a gold at the Asian Games in badminton.[2]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Shetty was born on 4 July 1997 in Malad, Mumbai to a Tulu family.[3] His parents are Sujata and Chandrashekhar Shetty and his father is a hotelier.[4][5] He started training at the Uday Pawar Badminton Academy at the Goregaon Sports Club, but shifted to the Gopichand Badminton Academy, Hyderabad.

Shetty initially partnered with Arjun M. R., but was later paired with Satwiksairaj Rankireddy by coach Tan Kim Her who felt that two tall, strong guys with skills could combine to become a formidable pair.[6]

Career[edit | edit source]

2018[edit | edit source]

In 2018, Shetty and Rankireddy played a crucial role in earning India a historic gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where they also won the men's doubles silver.[7] They won their first BWF World Tour title in Hyderabad Open after beating the Indonesian pair of Akbar Bintang Cahyono and Muhammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani in the final.[8]

2019[edit | edit source]

In 2019, Shetty and Rankireddy became the first Indian doubles pair to win a BWF Superseries or BWF World Tour (Super 500+) title, when they won the Thailand Open title, beating the Chinese pair of Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen in the final.[9] They followed it up with a runner-up finish at the French Open, where they lost in the final to the world number 1 pairing of Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.[10]

2021[edit | edit source]

In 2021, Shetty and Rankireddy lost to the Indonesian duo of Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan in the second round to crash out of the 2020 Yonex Thailand Open.[11] In July, he and Rankireddy competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, but were eliminated in the group stage, following a loss to Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.
