5. 1st Indian to 4 Super Series Wins in Calendar Year
Kidambi has also been bestowed the honour of being the first Indian to win 4 Super Series titles in a calendar year. With regard to all-time record, he has joined the likes of Chen Long, Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei. Twice this year, Srikanth has won back-to-back Super Series titles -- Denmark and French this month and Indonesia and Australia consecutively in June. Only Lee Chong Wei has done that before. Srikanth even surpassed Saina Nehwal's record of 3 SS titles.
