World number four Axelsen pulled off his shirt in jubilant celebration as he beat Srikanth 21-7, 22-18 in 36 minutes at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

But Srikanth, who played his first final of a BWF world tour event in 17 months, came back in the second game to match the tall Dane with some good returns as he led 20-18.
