Hoping to break his individual title drought that has stretched to five years, H. S. Prannoy says he will have no regrets even if it doesn’t come his way since he has a Thomas Cup gold in his trophy cabinet now.
The ‘giant-killer’ tag has become associated with Prannoy, who scripted some of the most headline-grabbing victories over top stars such as Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan, Chen Long and Viktor Axelsen.
However, he could not weave the big wins together in a week’s time and even though he rose to a career-best ranking of world number 8 in 2018, the Indian’s last individual title win came way back in 2017, at the U.S. Open Grand Prix Gold.
