Need Some Wins to Regain My Confidence: Sai Praneeth Struggling with Form, Back Issue

News 18  

Struggling with form and a nagging back issue, India’s B Sai Praneeth is desperate to get some wins under his belt to regain his confidence as he gears up for next week’s Thomas Cup and Uber Cup Finals. I just need a couple of wins to get that confidence back ahead of the important events,” Praneeth, the 2019 World Championships bronze medallist, told PTI. Talking about India’s campaign at the Thomas Cup, Praneeth said: “India has a strong team for Thomas Cup. Working hard on my game, training and taking care of my body — that’s what is in my hands, so really need some wins.” While P V Sindhu excused herself after a hectic Olympic campaign, Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy also missed out after the former pulled his abs muscle, leaving Praneeth as the only shuttler from the Olympic team to play in Finland.
