Understrength South Korea serve stunner on strong India


PETALING JAYA: An understrength South Korean team, led by talented men’s doubles shuttler Jin Yong, pulled off a stunning 3-2 victory over India in the Asia Mixed Team Championships at the Qingdao Conson Sports Centre in China yesterday.

South Korea did not name the likes of world champions An Se-young (women’s singles), Seo Seung-jae, Kang Min-hyuk and Paris Olympics silver medallist Kim Won-ho (men’s doubles) for the team meet but still had enough to edge 2023 bronze medallists India to finish top of Group D.
