Top shuttlers across the world will assemble in the picturesque European nation of Switzerland when the 2019 BWF World Championship gets underway at Basel later in the day. The premier tournament which is held once in two years will witness some battles between the best shuttlers at the World level to emerge as World Champions.

While the Chinese, Koreans, Indonesians and Japanese shuttlers will look to prove their dominance, the Indians are second to none with strong contingent that can bring back laurels to the nation. Spearheading the Indian charge would be Rio Olympic silver medalist PV Sindhu who has been the most consistent performer in the World Championships in the last few years with two back-to-back silver and as many bronze medals. Saina Nehwal would also like to go one better after clinching a bronze and silver in the previous editions of the tournament.

In the men’s singles, former world number 1 Kidambi Srikanth, who had reached the India Open finals in March, will look to become the first Indian male shuttler to win a medal at the World Championships
