New Delhi:  Tasnim Mir won the girls’ singles title as the young Indian shuttlers claimed three gold medals at the Dubai Junior International Series Badminton on Sunday.

Besides her singles gold, Tasnim paired with Ayan Rashid to cling the mixed doubles title while the girls’ doubles pair of Tanisha Crasto-Aditi Bhatt triumphed as well . In addition, the junior brigade added three silver medals to finish their campaign on a high with a rich haul of six medals.

Gujarat’s Tasnim Mir put up a superb display in the final to upset the second seed Treesa Jolly 21-15, 21-19 Mir tasted double glory when she teamed up with Assam’s Ayan Rashid in mixed doubles.

The Indian combine did not have it easy against Indonesia’s Galuh Dwi Putra and UAE’s Zainaba Siraj and had to dig deep to secure the victory. In a close contest, the pair got the better of their opponents in a 21-16, 22-24, 21-19 win. The two carried on their success from the Yonex Sunrise All India Sub-junior (U-15 and U-17) Ranking Badminton Tournament held in Imphal in July, where they had finished on the top podium.

In girls’ doubles, top seeds Aditi Bhatt and Tanisha Crasto continued their impeccable run as they crushed second seeds Treesa Jolly and Varshini Sri 21-17, 21-17 to win the gold in an all-India summit clash. The Goa-Uttarakhand pairing has been performing brilliantly this year and even clinched back-to-back wins in the two ranking selection tournaments to confirm their berth in the BWF World Junior Championship 2019 squad.

The only disappointment for India was in boys’ singles, where top seed Varun Kapur had to settle for a silver after losing to 2nd seed Prince Dahal of Nepal, 19-21, 19-21.
