The lead, and a place in the quarterfinal, were within the 18-year-old’s grasp. But Kiran had other ideas.

From there on, Kiran started controlling the match as he sealed his spot in the quarterfinal with a 22-20 21-13 win in 46 minutes. It was a day of two comebacks and a cruise …

Former world No 1 Kidambi Srikanth and Kiran George were added to the men’s singles draw of India Open 2025 following the late withdrawal of top seed Shi Yuqi of China and eighth seed Anthony Ginting of Indonesia. This also means that the men’s and women’s singles draws were updated, as according to the new BWF rules withdrawal of seeded players will result in a shuffling of the pack to ensure there are no lopsided quarters. In the updated draw, 2022 champion Lakshya Sen will now take Ginting’s place and will face Lin Chun Yi of Chinese Taipei in the opening round. Srikanth will take on China’s Hong Yang Weng while Kiran George will open his campaign against Yushi Tanaka of Japan.
