BWF World Championships Return to India After 17 Years with Strong Indian Contingent
The BWF World Championships return to India after 17 years, hosted at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium from August 17 to 23. Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu, aiming for a historic sixth World Championships medal, and men's doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lead the home contingent. With China’s dominance waning, India enters with strong medal prospects across disciplines. Players like Lakshya Sen and debutant Unnati Hooda also feature, while the home crowd and improved facilities add to the tournament's significance.
