Prannoy, Sindhu to lead India’s challenge at Sudirman Cup

Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu and World No. 9 HS Prannoy will spearhead India's challenge in the 2023 Sudirman Cup, which will take place in Suzhou, China, from May 14–21. A "balanced" team was chosen by the senior national selection committee with the goal of winning the nation's first-ever medal in the mixed team championships.
India has been placed in Group C with Malaysia, Chinese Taipei, and Australia. Their first challenge will be to advance from this potentially difficult group to the knockout stage. The return of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, who missed the Asian mixed team event due to injury, will bolster the men's doubles squad while Ashwini Ponnappa and new partner Tanisha Castro will provide back-up to the All England semi-finalists Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly. Kidambi Srikanth and reigning senior national women's singles champion Anupama Upadhyaya will be the other singles players in the squad.
