Making his debut at the CWG 2022 in men's singles, Lakshya Sen won against Malaysia's Ng Tze Yong 2-1 to bag the gold medal at the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG 2022) in Birmingham, on Monday.
He won the historic medal with 21 - 19, 9 - 21, and 16 - 21 against the fifth-seeded Ng Tze Yong.
The world number 10 defeated Singapore's Jia Heng Teh in his semi-final match, sealing a 21-10 18-21 21-16 victory. Although he has a 2-0 head-to-head record against Yong, the Malaysian is in good form and defeated Kidambi Srikanth in his semi-final fixture.
The match marked Lakshya's second major singles medal on the global stage after his bronze at the World Championships in December last year.
