#6 Jwala Gutta
Jwala Gutta is one of India’s most successful badminton doubles players. She won her first Commonwealth medal in 2006, winning bronze in the mixed team category. She won the gold medal with Ashwini Ponnappa at the 2010 Games along with a silver in the mixed team category.
At the 2014 Games in Glasgow, Gutta won the silver medal. At the 2011 Badminton World Championships, Gutta won the bronze medal in doubles. She was awarded the Arjuna award by the Indian Government in 2011.
However, the past 12-15 months have been littered with poor form from the shuttler and that was reflected at the 2016 Rio Olympics, when she, along ith her partner Ashwini Ponnappa, crashed out in the Group stage.
