PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty will be the top Indians in action at the Syed Modi International 2024 badminton tournament starting in Lucknow from Tuesday.
The Syed Modi India International 2024 is a BWF Super 300 event. All matches, to be played on the badminton courts of the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, will be live streamed in India.
The Indian badminton challenge in the women’s singles will be led by two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu. Paris 2024 Olympics semi-finalist Lakshya Sen will be the top-ranked Indian men’s player in singles.
However, the two world championship medallists have been struggling for form recently. Sindhu’s last title on the BWF World Tour came at the Singapore Open in July 2022. Meanwhile, Lakshya Sen is searching for his first title since the Canada Open in July 2023.
Asian Games gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty, who reached the semi-finals of the China Masters last week, will look to go the distance under home conditions in the men’s doubles.
The women’s doubles will see the return of Paris 2024 Olympians Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa as a pair. Commonwealth Games bronze medallists Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly are also in the fray.
India’s challenge in the mixed doubles will be led by Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto, who won the mixed doubles title with Ishaan Bhatnagar in 2022. B Sumeeth Reddy and N Sikki Reddy, members of the silver medal-winning Indian badminton team at the Commonwealth Games 2022, will also compete.
Besides the experienced Indian players, Priyanshu Rajawat, a member of the Thomas Cup-winning Indian team, in-form Malvika Bansod and rising stars Unnati Hooda and Anmol Kharb will look to make a mark in their respective singles events.
