I want to become 1st male world champion from India: Priyanshu Rajawat

Young Indian shuttler Priyanshu Rajawat has his eyes set on the pinnacle tournament of badminton, the BWF World Championships.

He is 21, and he left behind a good year in 2023 when he claimed his maiden BWF World Tour at the Orleans Masters and produced several results of remarkable brilliance.

Being young and strong on desires, Priyanshu is determined to break a deadlock in Indian badminton.

"I want to end that world championship title drought of men's singles category and my aim is to become the first-ever world champion from India in this category," Priyanshu told The Bridge on the sidelines of India Open.
