Diya Bheemaiah delivered an outstanding performance by winning both the Under-19 Girls’ Doubles and Under-19 Mixed Doubles finals at the Yonex–Sunrise All India Junior Ranking Badminton Tournament (Under-19), held at the High Performance Gopichand Badminton Academy Wellness Centre, Khanapura, Shanthi Vanam, Hyderabad, on Saturday.
In the Mixed Doubles U-19 final, Diya Bheemaiah partnered Bjorn Jaison to defeat the pair of Punith S. and Deepak Raj Aditi, securing the title. Later in the day, Diya teamed up with Baruni Parshwal to emerge victorious in the Girls’ Doubles U-19 final, completing a remarkable double crown.
With these title wins, Diya Bheemaiah and her teammates have earned direct entry into the Indian junior team for two upcoming international tournaments — the Yonex Dutch Junior International 2026, scheduled to be held from February 25 to March 1, 2026, and the Yonex German Junior 2026, to be conducted from March 4 to 8, 2026.
CLN is delighted to encourage and track the continuing progress and performance of Diya Bheemaiah. She shows the right temperament for winning in big tournaments. This is the appropriate time for the community to support her upward journey – participating at the highest level entails expensive foreign travel and support expenses. These tournaments are critical for her rating to participate in International tournaments, as also to represent the country in the next Olympics. CLN proudly supports her and would welcome readers and their network to come forward and help her in her dynamic journey.
Diya’s determination, Parents and Coaches hard work and
CLN’s support are the reasons for this Great Achievement!
May God Bless her to realise her potential.

Diya has done something extraordinary by getting a direct entry into the Indian Juniors team. Yes as rightly pointed out by the editor it’s time the community backed Diya wholeheartedly in all her endeavours. Such a nice feeling to see a young kodavathi climbing up the international badminton ladder in such a dedicated ND focused way. Igguthappa and Cauveriamme bless her immensely.
