Indian shuttlers enjoyed a fruitful outing in the Bahrain International Series 2013 in Manama as they swept all the five titles on offer on Sunday night.
Thane's Saili Rane and Madhya Pradesh's Sameer Verma claimed the women's and men's singles crowns respectively to ensure that the Indian contingent would not miss out on any title triumphs since all the three doubles finals were all-Indian affairs.
Saili, who now trains with Tom's Badminton Academy in Bangalore, fought back from a game down to beat third seed Sannatasah Saniru of Malaysia 14-21, 21-19, 21-17.
In the men's singles final, unseeded Sameer Verma kept his nerves to upset 8th seed Dinuka Karunaratne of Sri Lanka 21-11, 18-21, 21-13 to clinch his maiden senior international title.
