India shuttler Kiran George, who clinched his second BWF World Tour Super 100 title—the Indonesia Masters trophy in Medan on Sunday—is ranked 50th in the world, but he’s not too keen on improving that ranking. Instead, he wants to focus on winning titles. George beat Japan’s World No. 82 Koo Takahashi 21-19, 22-20 in the final.
Interestingly, in June, when George lost in the quarter-finals at the Thailand Open Super 500 tournament, his focus was on improving his ranking, and was aiming to finish World No. 30 by year end. “Now, I am not really bothered about rankings. I want to win more titles because if I do that, the ranking will automatically improve,” George, 23, told mid-day from Indonesia.
