After winning a historic silver at the World Championships in Spain last month, India shuttler Kidambi Srikanth is back to the training grind at the Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad. In last month’s final, Srikanth, 28, went down fighting to Loh Kean Yew of Singapore 15-21, 20-22. In doing so, he bettered the World Championships feats of the legendary Prakash Padukone (bronze in 1983), B Sai Praneeth (bronze in 2019) and Lakshya Sen (bronze this edition).
Before peaking at the World Championships last year, Srikanth had reached the semi-finals of two events—Hylo Open [November 2 to 7] and Indonesia Masters [November 16 to 21] apart from a quarter-final finish at the Orleans Masters [March 23 to 28].
