BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Kamesh Naik’s tournament began with a win before he struck a shuttle: a first-round walkover over Parteek Mahajan in the Men’s Singles qualifying draw was recorded at 4:50 pm on 7 August. His only played match came 105 minutes later, when Shaheen C K beat him 15-12, 15-11 in 16 minutes.

Naik finished that match with 23 points to Shaheen’s 30. The rally detail shows a close contest in some phases: Naik won 12 of 24 points on his serve and 11 of 29 receiving, while his longest winning streak was four rallies. He did not overturn a recorded deficit and surrendered a maximum lead of six points.

The clearest pattern came around the game intervals. Naik won seven of nine rallies before the intervals but only three of nine afterward. That split helps explain why the two games, which began positively—he won seven of the first ten game-start rallies—ended with 15-12 and 15-11 scores. He also won more long rallies, 14 of 26, than short ones, 9 of 27, though the rally-level coverage applies only to this one completed match.

With no decider played and no further event listed, the qualifying campaign ended in round two. Naik’s recorded tournament line was one walkover win, one played loss, 23 points won, and 16 minutes on court.
