Harsheel Dani, Aditya Joshi and Ruthvika Shivani continued to show that they are the future of Indian badminton by bagging the singles titles in both the u-17 and u-19 category of the Junior National Badminton tournament in Imphal.
Gopichand Academy trainee Ruthvika Shivani claimed a triple crown winning the under-19 singles and doubles title and the under-17 singles title for a cent per cent win record in the tournament.
In the boy’s section, Dani and Joshi, who were also doubles partners till they decided to concentrate only on singles last year, faced each other in both the finals and shared the spoils with the latter winning the under-19 crown and Joshi claiming the under-17 title.
Both the matches went on for over an hour with no player willing to give an inch.
