Hello and Welcome!
It is a day of reckoning for Indian badminton. Not many saw this coming but there is no greater pride in seeing an Indian shuttler battle it out for Gold in a major BWF badminton tournament. Several Indian shuttles have fallen by the wayside in the past week but the lone ranger still in the competition is Kidambi Srikanth. He has already created history by becoming the first Indian male shuttler to win a guaranteed silver. The real question is whether he can take it a step further and win gold.
