Satwiksairaj Rankireddy injury and recovery

Overview

Indian men's doubles badminton players Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty faced injury setbacks in July 2026. Rankireddy was forced to retire from their Japan Open opening match due to a shoulder injury, which subsequently caused the duo to withdraw from the Indonesia Open and the China Open.

By August 2026, coach Tan Kim Her confirmed that Rankireddy had fully recovered from the injury. The pair was cleared to compete in the BWF World Championships held in New Delhi, where they entered the men's doubles draw as the fifth seeds.
