PETALING JAYA: Malaysian mixed doubles ace Chan Peng Soon had to forgo the recent Chinese New Year celebration to play in the Indian Premier Badminton League (PBL) for the first time.
But it was all worthwhile as the 31-year-old steered Bengaluru Raptors to a successful title defence in the three-week competition that ended in Hyderabad on Sunday.
It helped Bengaluru Raptors seal a 3-1 win over Northern Eastern Warriors, with the other points delivered by World Championships bronze medallist B. Sai Praneeth and Taiwan’s world No. 2 Tai Tzu-ying in the men and women’s singles ties respectively. “Now, I just want to have a good rest and spend time with my family. I didn’t get to celebrate the Chinese New Year with them, now I need to make up for it.”“It was a joyful three weeks, I must say, ” said Peng Soon.
Liew Daren also played in the PBL, which entered its fifth season. His team Hyderabad Hunters finished fifth in the seven-team league.
