10 Indian teenagers who could become sporting greats in the future

3.Siril Varma(Badminton)

Siril Varma came into the spotlight at the end of last year when he became the 1st Indian badminton player since Saina Nehwal in 2008 to enter the final of the World Junior Badminton Championships.

A few months later, he moved to the top of the World Junior Rankings and in January, showed that he was certainly one to look out for, when in his lone match in the Premier Badminton League, he impressed one-and-all with his play.

A product of the Pullela Gopichand academy, that has had the tradition of producing champions over the years, Varma will certainly look to carry that forward and bring laurels to the country in the future.

4.Udanta Singh(Football)

A product of the Tata Football Academy, Udanta Singh was picked by the Bengaluru FC franchise prior to the 2014/15 season. During the initial part of his career at the club, the 19-year-on was used as a substitute.

He became the youngest Indian to provide an assist in AFC competitions when he assisted Sunil Chhetri to score India’s winning goal against Maldives in the AFC Cup Group Stage.

He was part of the Indian squad that featured in the South Asian Games earlier this year and in the years to come, could play a much more important role in the wings for India.
