The HinduAgus Dwi Santoso, an experienced Indonesian coach, will assist India's singles badminton players from next month as they prepare for the Tokyo Olympics.

Sindhu to an unprecedented World Championships gold medal. “I am directed to refer to SAI’s letter, to convey the approval for appointment of Mr Agus Dwi Santoso as foreign coach in the sports discipline of badminton at the salary of USD 8000 p.m. for a period of up to Olympic 2020,” the Sports Ministry wrote in a letter to SAI. Foreign coaches, who have served Indian badminton in the recent past, include Malaysian doubles specialist Tan Kim Her; experienced Indonesian singles coach Mulyo Handoyo, who was responsible for Srikanth’s rise in 2017; and South Korea’s Kim Ji Hyun.
