BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Sandip Kanji’s tournament began with a place in the next round before he had played a rally. His men’s singles opener against Vivaan Betgeri was recorded as a walkover win on 7 Aug 2026, giving Kanji a second-round meeting with Karan Dhavaskar later that evening in Navelim.

That match started at 8:05 pm and lasted 12 minutes. Kanji lost both games, 7–15 and 4–15, ending his campaign with one win by walkover and one played loss. He scored 11 points to Dhavaskar’s 30, with no deciding game involved.

The rally detail shows a split in how Kanji found points: he won 7 of 29 rallies on receive, compared with 4 of 12 on serve. He also won 7 of 22 points in the opening games across the match, then 4 of 19 in the closing games. The longest recorded streak went against him at eight points, while his own best run was four.

One detail stands out in the pacing: Kanji’s record was almost identical before and after the intervals, with two points won in each nine-rally segment. He did better in longer rallies, taking 7 of 20, than in shorter ones, where he won 4 of 21. That pattern offers a more precise picture than the final score alone, though the rally coverage applies only to his one completed match.

With no recorded rest gap between matches and just 12 minutes on court, Kanji’s qualifying run ended in the second round. The walkover advanced him, but Dhavaskar’s two-game win closed the only played chapter of his tournament.
