PETALING JAYA: India’s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty have transformed themselves from a blindly-smashing duo into a versatile world class men’s doubles pair, thanks to former Denmark international Mathias Boe’s classy touch.

Boe, an Olympic (2012) and World Championships (2013) silver medallist with Carsten Morgensen, came on board as coach six months before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and has added variation into Satwiksairaj-Chirag’s game.
