After HS Prannoy gave India a winning start to the South East Asian leg by emerging triumphant in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, the team arrived in Bangkok on Monday for the Thailand Open BWF Super-500 Tournament. Prannoy skipped Thailand and is expected to compete in Singapore and Indonesia tournaments next month.
In Prannoy's absence, PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth, Lakshya Sen and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty will lead the Indian challenge at Bangkok. With a lot of ranking points at stake, Indian shuttlers are carefully choosing the tournaments.
