The draws for the 2026 BWF World Championships, which will be held in New Delhi from August 17 to 23, took place on Wednesday. After the draw, Pullela Gopichand shared his thoughts on India’s chances at the tournament. He spoke about Lakshya Sen, Ayush Shetty and the return of the World Championships to India after 17 years. Lakshya Sen, who won a bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships, will once again be one of India’s biggest hopes. Gopichand believes the Indian shuttler is now a more mature and experienced player, but admitted that the competition will not be easy. “Lakshya has had some good tournaments.

Sen’s straight deep smashing had not been enough to offset Watanabe’s brisk angle-changers and quick reactions, as the Indian lost narrowly, with a 21-19 margin. He would receive prolonged instructions from father DK Sen in the break. His last few enforced errors that handed the set to the Japanese might’ve been playing on his mind as he picked the first point. But when his serve was called for height, an enraged Sen chucked the racquet on the floor in the direction of …
