On a successful day for the Indian shuttlers, Saili Rane lifted the women's singles crown while Kuhoo Garg and Rohan Kapoor grabbed the mixed doubles crown at the USD 10,000 Iceland International, here.

Fifth seed Saili downed compatriot and fourth seed Vaishnavi Jakka Reddy 22-20 21-12 in the final while the mixed doubles duo of Kuhoo and Rohan upset top seeded Danish pair of 16-21 21-19 21-18 in a grueling battle.

Kuhoo, 19, and Rohan, 20, clawed back in the 55-minute finale despite losing the first game and pushed the Danes in the next two games for the title.

It is the second title that the mixed doubles pair has won in five months, having attained success at the Hellas Open International series in Greece.
 

Another Indian, Bodhit Joshi, however, faltered in the men's singles losing to second seed Englishman Sam Parsons 21-14 21-17.
