BWF World Championships: India's medal hopes

India's brightest hope PV Sindhu will be in action later in the week. She is the defending champion, and the only Indian representative in women's singles this time. Sai Praneeth had won Bronze in the last edition, as India had finished with 2 podium finishes. 

The year-ending badminton tournament will feature many other Indians this time, and with the field being severely depleted, who knows what this edition of the World Championships have in store for India. Four Indians are there in the men's singles draw - Praneeth, Srikanth, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy - two of whom will be in action on Sunday.
