How efficiently Srikanth was able to turn his attack into defence in this match was what stood out. This definitely gave promising signs for the rest of his campaign.
Good evening and welcome to the Sportskeeda liveblog of Srikanth Kidambi's second round match. Sri had a thunderous start to his campaig on Monday and annihilated Sergey Sirant, 21-13, 21-12.
He should be looking to repeat that great performance today as well.
