Kiran Makes His Chance Count
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar|January 15, 2025
Pulls off thrilling win barely 24 hrs after his inclusion in the main draw of India Open 2025
- ANMOL GURUNG @Chennai

UNTIL late Monday, Kiran George was not part of any equation for the India Open. His name was included in the men's singles main draw of the ongoing BWF Super 750 event at the eleventh hour, following the withdrawal of a couple of players including Malaysia Open winner Shi Yuqi of China and Antony Ginting of Indonesia.

Shi might have taken a much-deserved break after a deep run in Kuala Lumpur but Kiran seemed to have embodied the spirit of a champion shuttler in his absence. At least, on Tuesday.

Facing a higher-ranked opponent in the form of Yushi Tanaka (World No 25), the Indian shutter operated with plenty of verve and displayed his capacity to withstand pressure to post a significant 21-19, 14-21, 27-25 victory in the Round of 32.
