This year marks the 41st edition of the epic badminton tournament which is hosted under the sanction of Badminton Asia. Last year, the Badminton Asia Championships was held at the Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Indoor Hall in Dubai. The men's singles title was won by Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, while Tai Tzu-ying from Taiwan clinched the women's singles title. The men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty added to India's medal tally by securing the gold medal.

Hopes for India are high as the top shuttlers are participating, paving the way for the Paris Games. HS Prannoy, seeded seventh, will face China's Lu Guangzu in the opening round. Meanwhile, Kidambi Srikanth will face second seed Anthony Ginting.

Unfortunately, the duo of Satwik-Chirag, who were responsible for India's success in the previous tournament and were ranked as the top seeds this year, will not be taking part this time. They had to withdraw because Satwik suffered a shoulder injury and made the decision last week. Apparently, all attention and expectations are now on Lakshya Sen, who is ranked 13th in the world, and PV Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist.
