Stability is key for Lakshya Sen in future: Peter Gade

Published by Webster

Indian badminton had very little to cheer about in the year 2025, with injuries and some poor form affecting performances across events. Lakshya Sen’s Australian Open title and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty’s bronze medal at the World Championships and then at the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals stood out as rare bright spots on the senior circuit. Keeping in view India’s mixed performances on the international circuit, Danish badminton legend Peter Gade believes Lakshya has the game to return to the very top, but also stresses that consistency will be key. “Lakshya has shown on many occasions that he’s got the potential to do big things. It’s been a bit up and down for him for the past years. He’s been beating some of the best players in the world. For him, it’s important to show himself that this is still possible,” Peter Gade told The Bridge in an exclusive interview. Lakshya faced several early-round exits this year, and the Australia Open Super 500 crown in November 2025 was his first since the Canada …

Last Updated:December 11, 2025, 23:45 IST The shift from a conflict-ridden mindset to one grounded in justice, development, and dignity is not merely a policy change; it is a cultural transformation Over the past years, Sinha has built a reputation for running an administration that is steady, firm, and emotionally attuned to the long-neglected victims of terrorism.
