By reaching the semi-finals, they have secured India two medals and a finalist in the men’s singles competition. The winner will face Anders Antonsen of Denmark or Kean Yew Loh of Singapore, who defeated HS Prannoy of India in another quarter-final match.
Regardless of the outcome, Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth will now join the legendary Prakash Padukone (bronze in 1983) and B Sai Praneeth (bronze in 2019) as the Indian men’s medal winners in the badminton main event.
PV Sindhu, who lost to Tai Tzu Ying of Taiwan in the women’s singles quarter-finals, remains the only Indian to win the world crown.
Srikanth, the 12th seed in the tournament, took just 26 minutes to beat Mark Caljouw of the Netherlands in straight matches (21-8, 21-7). But the unseeded Sen took more than an hour to beat Chinese Jun Peng Zhao (21-15, 15-21, 22-20) in a three-match quarter-final match.
This will be the first meeting between Sen and Srikanth on the BWF circuit. Sen, who is ranked 19th in the world, has a record of 168-56 in 226 wins and losses, while Srikanth, who is ranked 14th, has a record of 256-141 in 397 matches. And tonight’s winner will become the first Indian to participate in the Men’s Individual Final of the Badminton World Championships.
It will be a showdown between two generations of Indian ferries. Sen, 20, is a fast-growing traveler who loves to play the game of attack, a trait he inherited from the likes of Srikanth. And the young man from Almora will need more than his attacking game to beat the former world number Ravulapalem. Srikanth, 28, is on the road to redemption after his recent downfall.
