Star Indian men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty stood one step away from another World Championships medal after reaching the quarter-finals with a three-game win over Indonesia’s Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin here on Thursday.

The World No. 2 pair, which had claimed a maiden bronze in the last edition, bounced back from a mid-game slump to outwit Carnando and Marthin, ranked 10th, 21-15, 19-21, 21-9 in the round of 16 match that lasted a little over an hour.
