Bornil, who hails from Assam, grew to become the second junior badminton participant after Siril Verma in 2013 to bag the highest podium end in the distinguished match.

The Indian shuttler gave constant performances all by the match and had overwhelmed compatriot Jagsher Singh Khangurra in the semifinal on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Tanvi Sharma will compete in opposition to Yataweemin Ketklieng of Thailand in the U17 women’ singles remaining later right this moment.
