On the other hand, Indian badminton player Aakarshi Kashyap consoled Pakistan counterpart Mahoor Shahzad after the latter retired hurt during the women’s singles round of 32 match.
Kashyap had started well, leading 14-9 but lost her way in the middle and offered the lead. The Indian then bounced back and fought hard to take the opening game 22-20. The second game was better for the Indian as she looked more in the control and was leading 8-1 when Mahoor Shahzad withdrew.
Mahoor Shahzad was showing excellent level of play in her Round of 32 of Commonwealth Games 2022 against India ๐ฎ๐ณ (World no. 57) and unfortunately she had to retire injured during the 2nd set having lost the first set 20-22.
