Daihatsu Indonesia Masters 2018
Satwik and Chirag

In women's doubles, India will be represented by N Sikki Reddy and Ashwini Ponnappa, who, alongside Jwala Gutta has two medals (1 gold, 1 bronze) at CWG. Malaysian pair of Chow Mei Kuan and Vivian Hoo Kah Mun and Australian pair of Setyana Mapasa and Gronya Somerville will be the pairs to beat for the Indian duo.

India have never won a CWG medal in men's doubles or mixed doubles. However, this time around, with Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy displaying superb form, that statistic could change. Malaysia's Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong are the favourites to win the gold while England's Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge also have an outside to spoil India's party.

In mixed doubles, two Indian pairs will be in action, Pranaav Jerry Chopra and Sikki Reddy and Satwik and Ponnappa. Malaysia's Goh Soon Huat and Shevon Jemie Lai, though, are the top draw in the category while England's Ben Lane and Jessica Pugh are also likely contenders.
