Indonesia Masters 2022: Preview, Indian squad, when and streaming details

The Indian Contingent, spearheaded by two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and Thomas Cup champion Lakshya Sen, are currently competing at the 2022 Indonesia Masters badminton tournament in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Indonesia Masters tournament is scheduled to be played from June 7-12.

Lakshya Sen is off to a good start as he thrashed Danish shuttler Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus in straight sets 21-10, 21-18 in the first round of the Indonesia Masters (BWF World Tour Super 500) on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, seeded fourth in the tournament, PV Sindhu, who is aiming for her maiden Indonesia Masters title, will take on world No. 22 Line Christophersen of Denmark in the women’s singles opener.

However, a few other prominent names have opted out of the badminton tournament. Kidambi Srikanth is injured and doubles duo Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy are taking a break following a hectic first half of 2022.

Meanwhile, Saina Nehwal, Parupalli Kashyap and HS Prannoy have also pulled out of the tournament at the last minute.

Nehwal was stunned by Malvika Bansod in the second round of the 2022 India Open as the former world No.1 lost in straight games 21-17, 21-9 to her compatriot.
