The Indian pair made multiple mini comebacks to win the opening game in 29 minutes.
But, in the second game, the Indians put their rivals under pressure and sealed the match that lasted 57 minutes.
Satwiksairaj and Chirag not just became the first-ever Indian badminton doubles pair to win the Asian Games gold medal, but it was India's first-ever Asiad Gold in badminton (Singles or Doubles | Individual or Team).
Satwik and Chirag had eliminated former world champions Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the last-four stage.
