India's top woman squash player Joshna Chinappa on Tuesday said the country has a great chance of winning a medal in doubles at the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
"This is one of the best Indian teams. Saurav Ghosal and myself have been playing on the pro tours for a number of years. We are still in the top-20 in the world. We (India) definitely have a great chance of winning a medal in doubles," Chinappa told reporters.
"This time, we are also trying to push for a medal in singles as well."
While Chinappa is ranked 17 among women, Ghosal is No 15 among men.
The 35-year squash ace, who recently won the women's doubles title at the World Doubles championship in Glasgow, also said she and Dipika Pallikal Karthik (with whom she triumphed in the worlds) were a very strong team.
"To be honest, she (Dipika) has had one of the greatest comebacks. When we started playing after a gap of three years, I was quite surprised that she was playing really well. I expected her to be a little rusty. She has been putting in a lot of effort into her training. We are a very strong team. Hopefully, we can show that on court." Chinappa said. India have won a Gold in women's doubles at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 apart from two Silvers (in women's doubles and mixed doubles) in the previous Games in Gold Coast in 2018.
