India’s Thomas Cup-winning squad from 2022 gets to flaunt their prowess and fix the odd chink in their armour at the Badminton Asia Team Championships starting on Wednesday. At Shah Alam in Malaysia – where the men’s team stocked up on groceries shopping together, posed poolside donning funky glares and matching hotel towels for Instagram shots, and were flanked by a strong, united coaching staff – the successful team seemed happy. The legacy of that Thomas Cup, which India will defend this May, was also a bunch of elite shuttlers, confident of themselves and happy for their teammates. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty, HS Prannoy, Lakshya Sen and K Srikanth are formidable names over a 3 singles-2 doubles format; but they are also fun-spreading folk in team situations. Should India – who start as one of the favourites – win their first-ever Asian team event after missing out on the Asiad gold last September, this wholesome group vibe can percolate to the juniors – national champions Suraj Goala-Pruthvi Roy and Chirag Sen. //www.instagram.com/embed.js As such, with only …

The 15-team tournament will mark the return of PV Sindhu into competitive badminton after recovering from a knee injury that she sustained during her second-round French Open match in October last year. Sindhu will look to lead the Indian women’s team from the front on her comeback event. The Indian men’s team, led by HS Prannoy and the men’s doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, will be one of the strongest contenders for the title. But things will be tricky for India as it has been placed in Group A, with formidable China and Hong Kong as its opponents. The women’s team, however, has already been assured of a knockout berth as China is the other side in Group W. Only the two teams are eligible to advance to the knockouts. The biennial tournament will also serve as a qualifying event for the 2024 Thomas and Uber Cup. In the last Badminton Asia Team Championships, both …
