Riding on a semifinal finish at the
Indonesia Super Series Premier
badminton tournament,
Commonwealth Games champion
Parupalli Kashyap regained his place
inside the top 10 in the latest BWF’s
world ranking, released on Thursday.
A former World No. 6, Kashyap, who
became the first Indian in 14 years
to beat a reigning world number one
player when he eked out a hard-
fought 14-21 21-17 21-14 win over
Chen Long of China last week, rose
two places to grab the 10th spot in
men’s singles ranking.
Compatriot K Srikanth continued to
be the best-placed Indian male
shuttler at the third position, while
Olympic bronze medallist Saina
Nehwal, too, improved a place to
reach the second spot in women’s
singles ranking.
