The Indian shuttlers, brimming with confidence, will be seen in action in the 34th Thailand Open. The badminton tournament is slated to run through May 17-22, 2022.
After winning the recently-concluded 2022 Thomas Cup in Bangkok on Sunday (May 15), the Indian badminton contingent will look to maintain the winning momentum.
The Indian men's badminton team vanquished 14-time champions Indonesia 3-0 and scripted history in their first ever finals appearance. They dethroned the defending champions to win the prestigious tournament.
Former world No 1 Saina Newal will be back in action. Meanwhile, this season's biggest sensation Lakshya Sen and the in-form men’s doubles duo of Chirag Shetty-Satwiksairaj Rankireddy have opted out of this BWF World Tour event.
