CWG 2022: All eyes on PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth as India Look to Dominate in Badminton
News 18Two days before the Indian women’s T20 cricket team meets archrivals Pakistan in a preliminary league match of the cricket competition at the Commonwealth Games, the two countries were scheduled to meet in Badminton. India, who emerged as the most successful team at Gold Coast 2018 with six medals — the same as England who had a silver medal less, are defending champions in the Mixed Team competition having won the title four years back in Gold Coast ahead of Malaysia. They have in their ranks stars like former World No 1 and ex-World Champion PV Sindhu, the two-time Olympic medallist, Kidambi Srikanth, silver medallist in the World Championship in December 2021 and Lakshya Sen, bronze medallist in the World Championship who made a brilliant start to the year by winning the India Open and finishing runner-up in the All-England Championship in Birmingham. India are world champions in the men’s team competition having won their maiden Thomas Cup title a few months back and Sindhu is also in top form having won the Singapore Open earlier this month.
