Kuala Lumpur, Nov 27 (IANS)
Leading Indian male singles shuttler Kidambi Srikanth jumped two places to the eighth position in the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings released here Thursday. The 21-year-old recently entered the semi-final in the Hong Kong Open, which helped him rise two places as comptriot Parupalli Kashyap also rose a place to be 16th in the rankings.
In the women's singles rankings, 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal remained at fourth, while two-time World Championships bronze medallist P.V. Sindhu dropped a place to be 11th.
In the women's doubles, the 2011 World Championships bronze medallist pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa also slipped down a place to take the 20th position. There are no Indians in the top-25 list for men's and mixed doubles.
