The Indian pair views their recent success at the China Masters as a crucial confidence booster following an extended period away from competitive badminton.

The timing of their tournament victory proved ideal for the shuttlers as they look to retain their continental crown. Having returned to competitive action after their difficult spell, the pair's recent performance demonstrates they remain among Asia's top badminton talents in the men's doubles category.

The duo's focus remains on executing their game plan effectively rather than being weighed down by expectations. As they prepare for the continental championships, their recent title win serves as validation that they have successfully navigated their comeback and are ready to compete at the highest level.
