Patiala, 11 March (Shahi)
The All England Open 2025, a prestigious BWF Super 1000 tournament, kicks off on Tuesday at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu leading India’s charge. This marks Sindhu’s return to competitive badminton since the Indonesia Masters in January. Fans can catch the action live through telecast and streaming options in India.
India’s Key Players
In women’s singles, world No. 15 PV Sindhu will be joined by world No. 28 Malvika Bansod as the only other Indian contender. In men’s singles, world No. 10 Lakshya Sen, a semi-finalist last year and runner-up in 2022, is India’s top hope. He could face compatriot HS Prannoy (world No. 30) in the quarter-finals if both advance.
