Chirag, speaking to BWF after the match, reflected on their struggles. “We didn’t start off the year that well. We were always in two minds, really. I think we were also not good mentally because we did not have a really good start. As players, we are very, very driven. And for us to lose early, it does bother us quite a bit and we really wanted some answers. Finally, the bronze at the Thomas Cup really boosted our confidence and here we are, playing our first final of the year. Hopefully, we can go and win the title,” Chirag said.
