Lakshya Sen

The 16-year-old is being hailed as the next big thing in men's singles' badminton. Lakshya became the World Junior No.1 in February this year by usurping Chia-Hao Lee from the top spot.

In October, the then World Junior No.2 Sen lost out to Japanese sixth seed Kodai Naraoka in the men's singles quarterfinals of the World Junior Championships though, where was one of the biggest title favourites. He also reached the semifinals of the Senior Nationals, where he lost out to Srikanth Kidambi.

Sen won the Eurasian Bulgarian Open and then followed it by winning the India International Series as well towards the second of 2017. In the Tata Open India International, he bagged a silver as he lost out to Thailand's Sitthikom Thammasin.
