HS Prannoy will spearhead the Indian challenge at the China Open BWF Super-1000 tournament, which begins in Changzhou on Tuesday. Prannoy, who stunned Viktor Axelsen and Loh Kean Yew to win bronze at the Worlds, is likely to meet the same opponents at the China Open.
Lakshya Sen, also drawn in the same half, will look to hit top gear before the Asian Games begin on September 23.
