    Unassertive Kidambi Srikanth remains helpless India’s biggest hope

    Injury has been often the differentiator between the best in the world and the best of the rest.

    What makes the love for a sport eternal is the exact thing that had made it exceptionally ruthless, to begin with. And it is the same element that has turned mere mortals into demigods throughout the ages.

    The Indian Badminton Story

    Over the last few days, an absolute prerequisite for a good story has taken over everyone’s veins.

    India Open | PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth India's biggest hopes in star-less tournament

    With Saina Nehwal pulling out of the India Open, India’s title chances have highly narrowed down to two shuttlers - PV Sindhu and Kidmabi Srinkanth.
