Nitchain Jindapaol — Jindapol is the No. 4 Thai player

The Delhi Acers women’s singles challenge will be led by the 17th ranked player Nitchaon Jindapol. The 25-year-old comes from the hotbed of Thai badminton and is their No. 4 player after Ratchanok Intanon, Porntip Buranaprasertsuk and Busanan Ongbamrungphan.

She has risen to as high as No. 12 in the world in 2014 and has the necessary experience to help the Acers defend their title. With wins over both the Olympic champion Carolina Marin and Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu, Jindapol can be one tricky opponent for anyone to face.

The former Bitburger Open titlist reached yet another final at the said tournament this November and the performance surely provided her the necessary boost ahead of PBL2.
