BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Devaj Vaingankar’s tournament began with a singles walkover on 7 August, then became a two-event qualifying campaign compressed into 48 minutes of court time. The walkover over Sharv Kotkar put him through without a rally, but his next match arrived at 6:50 pm: in men’s doubles, Vaingankar and his partner lost 17–15, 10–15, 15–9 to Om Kunkolienkar and Sahil Sayed.

That doubles match was the longest test of the day at 32 minutes, and it was decided in a third game after the pair split the first two. Vaingankar’s team won 39 points to 42, with the side taking 21 of 42 receive points. The match included nine clutch points won from 19, while the rest of the recorded rallies produced 30 wins from 62.

Only 36 minutes separated the scheduled doubles start from Vaingankar’s singles match, which began at 8:04 pm, one minute before its listed time. He then lost 15–6, 15–5 to Sudhanva Udupa in 16 minutes, ending his singles run in round two and the tournament campaign with two played-match losses and one walkover win.

The rally pattern is more revealing than the final totals: across the two covered matches, Vaingankar won 29 of 71 receive points but just 21 of 51 on serve. He also won 24 of 60 long rallies, compared with 26 of 61 short ones. The available rally detail covers both completed matches, while the walkover contains no played rallies. In a tournament paced by a short turnaround, his doubles match was the close contest; the later singles match was the finish.
