With more focus on singles players in India, fans all over the country might not be quite familiar with the top doubles exponents playing at the PBL2. The Bengaluru Blasters boasts of the World No. 2 mixed doubles player Ko Sung Hyun of Korea, who was ranked the No. 1 as recently as last week.

The 29-year-old is a highly accomplished doubles ace and is a holder of five Superseries titles in mixed doubles, two of which came this year itself. In men’s doubles too, he has six crowns at the Superseries level which further proves his doubles prowess.

Hyun has three medals from the World Championships too – a gold and silver in men’s doubles apart from a bronze in mixed doubles. There is no doubt that the Korean’s presence will bolster the Blasters as they search for their first PBL title.
