The Uganda International Challenge 2022 dramatically ended with a great piece of news as sisters, Kasturi, 21, and Venosha, 20, created a sensation as they earned the most prestigious title at the recent tournament. The tournament took place at the  MTN Arena, Kampala, Uganda on 24th till 27th of February 2022 creating buzz over social media platforms. 

Check out the post below: 

However, the duo didn’t have it easy as their Men’s Doubles compatriots in the Women’s Doubles Finals match against second seeds Martina Corsini and Judith Mair from Italy. The Malaysian sisters displayed their nerves to earn the title of championship throughout the tournament. 

Those who were placed as the third seed of the tournament first denied the progress of the top seed from Italy in the semi-finals after winning over Katharina Fink – Yasmine Hamza 21-15, 21-17 in 29 minutes.

Kasturi and Venosha have been playing badminton since they were seven and six respectively. Radhakrishnan, a dedicated father and former Royal Malaysia Customs officer encouraged his precious princesses to pick up the sport. 

Both sisters have emerged as runner-ups in the Yonex-Sunrise Bangladesh International Challenge 2021, and received a whopping US$720.
