Despite the Indian duo’s valiant efforts, they couldn’t mount a comeback in the second set, ultimately losing the match to the Indonesian opponents. With this result, Pramod Bhagat and Manisha Ramdass claimed the bronze medal, marking a significant achievement in their para-badminton careers.
The performance of Bhagat and Ramdass was lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took to social media to extend his congratulations.
