In the U-17 section, Diksha showed her composure as she outclassed Chinese Taipei's Pin Hsuan Chiang 21-19, 21-15 to secure a last-eight berth, according to a release from the Badminton Association of India (BAI).

Among other standout results, Lakshya Rajesh advanced with a strong 21-16, 21-11 win over Korea's Lee Yun Seo in the girls' singles U-17 contest, while the U-17 girls' doubles pair Aditi Deepak Raj and Ponnamma BV Vriddhi held their nerve to edge Korea's Lee Yun Seo/Park Yoo Jeong 17-21, 21-15, 21-17.

In the U-15 boys' singles, Wazir Singh narrowly missed out on a quarterfinal spot after a valiant 19-21, 22-20, 22-24 loss to seventh seed Revan Adrilleo Saputra of Indonesia.

India had won a gold and a bronze in 2024, and one gold, one silver, and one bronze in 2023, with both editions taking place in Chengdu. (ANI)
