BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Aariketh Chari opened the BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026 with a sharp 2–0 singles win over Divyam Singh, taking both games 15–2 and 15–4. The No. 2 seed then followed with another straight-game victory against Namish Revankar, recovering from 12–15 in the opening game to win the second 15–4 and advance to round three of the U11 Boys’ Singles draw.

His singles campaign ended on 9 August against Shloke Utagi. Chari won 15–12 and 15–9, but the result went to Utagi in the recorded match, leaving Chari with two wins and one loss in singles. Across those three matches, Chari won 81 points to 52 and spent 40 minutes on court.

The day also included a doubles thread with an unnamed partner. Chari and his partner lost 15–6, 15–7 to Mahipal Sinh Parmar and Priyansh Sawant Dessai in round two of the U11 Boys’ Doubles event. That 17-minute match began at 11:50 am, 51 minutes after the singles match against Utagi started at 10:43 am, the tournament’s only recorded rest gap.

The rally pattern is notable: in singles, Chari won 52 of 80 points on serve, but only 29 of 53 on receive. He also won 22 of 30 points at game starts, while his post-interval record was nearly even at 19–30 before and 18–30 after. His tournament closes with 57 minutes on court, a 2–2 overall record and a campaign that produced two singles wins before the round-three exit.
