Indian badminton stars HS Prannoy and Sathish Karunakaran delivered impressive performances at the Malaysia Masters 2025, securing crucial victories against higher-ranked opponents.
However, it was a disappointing start for PV Sindhu, who bowed out in the early rounds.
Prannoy showcased his resilience by defeating an experienced opponent in a gripping three-game match, keeping India’s hopes alive in the tournament. Meanwhile, Karunakaran, one of India’s rising talents, stunned his opponent with exceptional attacking play, proving his potential on the international stage.
Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, struggled to find her rhythm and fell short against a determined competitor, marking an early exit from the tournament.
As the competition intensifies, Indian fans look forward to more thrilling performances from their shuttlers in Kuala Lumpur.
