Marcus Gideon & Kevin Sanjaya

Marcus Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya, known as The Minions, rewrote badminton history with their explosive attacking style, holding the world number one ranking for 128 weeks—the longest streak in men's doubles history. They won 10 BWF World Tour titles, including the 2018 Asian Games gold, and maintained a win rate of 82% over their peak years. This streak is 30% longer than the average top doubles pair's tenure, and their ranking longevity surpasses #8 Greysia Polii's Olympic-focused journey. Their aggressive net play remains a benchmark for modern doubles.
