BWF World Championships: Complete schedule, India squad, live streaming details & more

Indian shuttlers are all set to begin their campaign at the BWF World Championship 2022, which is scheduled to begin on Monday. Coming on the back of an enthralling performance at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, the Indian badminton contingent is now eyeing the World Championships medal. India won a total of six medals at the CWG 2022 in Birmingham, which also includes three gold medals. 

 It is pertinent to mention that the gold medal winner in Women’s Singles badminton at the CWG 2022, PV Sindhu earlier pulled out of the World Championships due to an injury. She suffered a stress fracture on her left foot and was seen visibly struggling with pain during the summit clash of CWG 2022. However, veteran player Saina Nehwal in women’s singles, alongside Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth, are India’s top medal prospects in the men’s singles badminton event.

At the same time, Satwik Sairaj and Chirag Shetty are also in Team India’s squad at the World Championships 2022. India’s Srikanth, Sen, and HS Prannoy have been drawn in the same group, which reduces India’s chances in Men’s Singles. Having said that, here’s a look at Day 1 scheduled for India at the BWF World Championship 2022 in Tokyo.
