In a riveting encounter, the second-seeded Indian pair fought back from a set down to triumph with a scoreline of 2-6, 6-3, 10-4 against the formidable Chinese Taipei duo of Tsung-hao Huang and En-shuo Liang.

India had managed to secure only two medals throughout the tournament, with the men's doubles team earning silver being the other achievement.
