India's badminton players delivered strong performances at the USD 240,000 Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament, securing spots in the second round across multiple categories on Tuesday.

The women's doubles team of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand, the defending champions, overcame a challenging match against Malaysia's Cheng Su Hui and Tan Zhing Yi, winning 19-21, 22-20, 21-9. This marks a significant achievement, especially as Gayatri makes her return after a five-month layoff due to a shoulder injury.
