B Sai Praneeth came from a game down to beat HS Prannoy of Kerala in the final. Siva Subramaniam broke his own national record in the pole vault.

World championships bronze-medallist B Sai Praneeth played a key role in Telangana’s win over Kerala to win the gold medal in mixed team badminton at the National Games 2022 on Monday.

B Sai Praneeth upset Kerala’s much fancied and in-form HS Prannoy 18-21, 21-16, 22-20 in the second match of the final.

The first game was played fiercely. A tentative B Sai Praneeth made a few unforced errors while HS Prannoy looked good with his all-round game. They went neck-and-neck till 18-18 before Prannoy clinched it with a couple of well-measured shots.

B Sai Praneeth was in full flow in the second game, with his repertoire of strokes catching Prannoy on the wrong foot. He surged ahead for a 13-7 lead and held on to it to make it 1-1.

Even in the third game, Sai Praneeth built a healthy lead of 13-7 before HS Prannoy clawed back to make it 18-18 all.

“I knew it would be a tough match, especially as we know each other’s game as we often train together. But gradually I found my strokes,’’ Sai Praneeth said.

“I was suddenly blank as Prannoy began to play a fast game. With the shuttle also coming slowly, I was a little taken aback. But luckily, I held my nerves and pulled off this crucial win. It will boost my morale.”

Husband-wife duo B Sumeeth Reddy and N Sikki Reddy had earlier got the better of the youthful pair of MR Arjun and Treesa Jolly 21-15, 14-21, 21-14 and Samiya Farooqui then beat TR Gowrikrishna 21-5, 21-12 to give Telangana the gold medal.

Pole-vaulter Siva Subramaniam soared over 5.31m to break his own national record set four years ago, adding to Services’ rapidly-increasing tally.

The crowd at the IIT Gandhinagar egged Siva Subramaniam on when he broke the National Games record, set at 5.10 by Vijay Pal Singh back in 1987, by clearing 5.11m. He then vaulted over 5.21m and asked for the bar at 5.31, with an eye on the record. He failed on the first try but wound himself up to clear it the next time.

Weightlifter Sambo Lapung also set a new national record in the men’s 96kg weightlifting, lifting 198kg to shatter the clean and jerk mark.

Uttar Pradesh men and Telangana women became the inaugural winners of the 3x3 basketball gold medals after scoring victories over Tamil Nadu 21-18 and Kerala 17-13, respectively, in the finals in Bhavnagar.

In the men’s recurve archery semi-finals, Atanu Das (West Bengal) blanked fellow Olympian Tarundeep Rai (Services) 6-0. Atanu Das will meet Gurucharan Besra (Services) in the final.

Meanwhile, in women’s hockey, Haryana captain Rani Rampal scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Odisha for their second win in a Group A match at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium in Rajkot. Haryana are assured of a place in the last four.
