Ace Indian shuttler PV Sindhu has dropped two places in Tuesday’s recently released rankings by the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
Double Olympic medalist Sindhu dropped from world number 13 to world number 15 after she pulled out of the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships earlier this month due to a niggle.
Sindhu has just played two tournaments in 2025, reaching the quarter-finals at the India Open Super 750 and losing in the first round of the Indonesia Masters Super 500.
She is sitting at 15th spot with 57,190 points in the women’s singles list, topped by her Korean opponent An Se young with 111,867 points.
Another Indian female shuttler, Malvika Bansod, jumped three places to world number 28, entering the world top 30, sitting 28th with 44,752 points.
In the men’s singles chart, Lakshya Sen remained India’s top shuttler staying at world number 10 with 63,668 points.
HS Prannoy is 31 (44,662 points). China’s Shi Yu Qi, who won the season opener Malaysia Open and finished third in Indonesia Masters, is topping the chart with 100,415 points.
In the men’s doubles, Indian pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty stayed at world number seven with 73,430 points despite not featuring as a pair in the BAMTC.
The Indian pair had a good start to the year with consecutive semi-final finishes in the Malaysia Open and India Open.
