Lakshya Sen has made such rapid strides in the recent past that only Kidambi Srikanth and world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore pose a threat to his title ambitions at the Commonwealth Games.
The 20-year-old from Almora defeated Loh to win the India Open this January. A couple of months later he came up with a sensational show at the All England Championships, where he became the first Indian to reach the final in two decades. He even dethroned reigning champion Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia.
