The 2022 Badminton World Championships will kick start in Tokyo, Japan from 21st August 2022. While India's most successful shuttler at the global event, PV Sindhu, has withdrawn from the event, the likes of Kidambi Srikanth, Lakshya Sen and others will look to repeat their heroics from last year.
However, with all three Indian men's singles shuttlers - Srikanth, Lakshya and HS Prannoy, drawn in the same half, things are expected to get tough for India as only one of them could make it to the semifinal unlike the last edition.
Veteran Saina Nehwal, too, has her task cut out with and will have to face former World Champion Nozomi Okuhara as early as the second round. Things, however, look a bit simpler for the men's doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty as they do not have to face the minions or daddies early on in the global event.
