The second edition of Premier Badminton League commenced in the very beginning of the year. This season has some very promising players, both old and new.
A new star was born in Indian badminton, Sameer Verma, who ousted world No. 3 Jorgensen en-route a runner-up finish in Hong Kong Open 2016.
Two of India’s most promising shuttlers made it to the final in the Hong Kong Open 2016, however, both PV Sindhu and Sameer Verma fell short in the final.
PV Sindhu suffered a post-Olympic rut for a few months, but makes a strong comeback becoming the third non-Chinese to lift the China Open Title at Fuzhou.
PV Sindhu, who was the standout performer at the 2016 Rio Olympics has fallen into a post-Olympic trauma and would hope to recover at the China Open.
India’s largest ever contingent at the Rio Olympics returned with two medals for the country but it also brought home 119 champions from the summer games.
The stakes are high and so is the pressure on the Indian shuttlers. Will Saina, Sindhu and Srikanth deliver a medal for the country at the Olympics?
PV Sindhu is recognized for her determination and is the only Indian to win a medal twice at the world championships. Now, the Olympic medal awaits her.
Saina Nehwal is India’s most glorified athlete on the badminton courts. You name it and she has already achieved it. In Rio, will she claim the gold?
