The indomitable duo of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa, ranked 41st in the world now, are back with a bang. They achieved another high when they won the women’s doubles bronze in the recently concluded Asian badminton championship at Ghimcheon in Korea.

Former national coach Syed Mohammad Arif says that the two are one of the best doubles combinations from India ever.

“They have got all the potential to beat anybody on their day. But unfortunately, they lost that momentum after the Commonwealth Games and World Championship because of the unnecessary controversies. They were low on their confidence and they had to make a comeback of sorts. Mind you, it is not easy in the world circuit,” Arif said.
