What a bizarre, bizarre game. Lakshya Sen led 11-0 and then 18-8 in the decider and then had to save a match point before winning the third game 24-22. Mad.#YouthOlympics

SCARY SCARY MATCH...
Hope #LakshaySen beats the Chinese comfortably in the Finals & doesn't rattle the living daylights out of us.#IAmTeamIndia 🇮🇳#BuenosAires2018
@lakshya_sen finally does it. This match was an edge of a seat thriller. Started with an 11-0 in the 3rd lead, it was level at 19-19 and now takes it 24-22. This match was very very weird.... This also ended his 2 match losing streak against the Japanese. Get the gold now...

If there ever was a threat to lakshya it was gonna be kodai, not kunlavut. Kodai is a much better player than any other opponent of lakshya & against li shifeng lakshya has a H2H of 2-0 but that doesn't matter much. Lakshya's a far superior player to shifeng,so a clear favourite.

After a marathon, @lakshya_sen finally does it. 14-21, 21-15, 24-22. Frankly this was one another episode of lakshya almost giving away another winning position, he's got these phases of brainfade where he loses points in heaps. This'll be a rivalry for the future #YouthOlympics

That was SOME match. Probably the weirdest baddy match I have ever seen. @lakshya_sen races off to 11-0, Kodai closes the gap to 11-6. Sen takes control again & moves to 18-8, but Kodai comes back to level at 19-19 !! Finally Lakshya takes it 24-22 !! PHEW !!
