An Indian player is yet to win a gold at the World Badminton Championships tournament if you rewind back to the previous editions. But as many as five Indian shuttlers have been seeded this time around.
They include PV Sindhu (4) and Saina Nehwal (12) in the women’s singles and Srikanth Kidambi (8), Ajay Jayaram (13) and B. Sai Praneeth (15) in the men’s singles.
Olympic silver medallist Sindhu, who clinched the 2016 China Open and 2017 India Open, will look to better the colour of the medal that she had won in the 2013 and 2014 editions.
While Srikanth turns up in Scotland after three successive final finishes, Sindhu enters the event after a couple of quarterfinal finishes in the previous Super Series events of this season.
