Veer Chotanri got India off to a buzz‑ing start, taking the first two games 12‑10 and 8‑11 before smashing the last two 11‑0, 11‑5, a 34‑minute tour de force that left Kuwait trembling.
Abhay Singh closed the tie with a commanding 11‑3, 11‑4, 11‑8 victory over Ammar Altamimi, cementing his status as the highest‑ranked Indian and securing the team’s place in the semis.
On the women’s side, Tanvi Khanna fired a 15‑13, 11‑1 win after a nail‑biter 11‑6, 4‑11, 15‑13 start, and Anahat Singh’s 11‑7, 11‑3, 11‑4 finish sealed a straight‑match 2‑0 win over Singapore, putting India on a medal‑guaranteed path.
Both squads will face their next opponents on Thursday; the men’s will go up against the top‑seeded side, while the women’s will battle the host nation’s best, setting up a tense semifinal showdown.
