So Srikanth, who achieved the humongous task of winning 4 super series titles this year, can’t even capture the National championship.

That’s how far we have progressed as a badminton nation 👊🏼

Well done @PRANNOYHSPRI

Not sure if you can call this an upset but @PRANNOYHSPRI has completely shocked the Nagpur crowd, which was almost completely backing Srikanth. Gets a huge round of applause after winning his first senior national title!
