The duo was down 16-20 in the second set and fought back to take the game to the third set where they lost 16-21. Being the last match of the event, the pair won hearts of the audience for their never give up spirit.

Dinesh breaks into the top 15 in the BWF Para World Ranking in men’s singles category and is now ranked 14 in the world. Ramco Cements has been supporting Dinesh Rajaiah ever since he showed his talent in an inter unit tournament of Ramco Cements in 2017. The company had then encouraged him to take up professional badminton coaching and has been sponsoring him for all major international tournaments. Ramco Cements wishes Dinesh all success in future tournaments.
