Indian shuttlers continued to rise in the latest BWF rankings released on Tuesday, with the likes of Mithun Manjunath and Aakarshi Kashyap moving into the 30s, courtesy of their win at the Bangladesh International. Mostly not much movement happened in the current week as next season is due to start.

Starting with the men's singles, India's top-ranked player Lakshya Sen lost his sixth place to Indonesia's Anthony Ginting, after the latter made it to the summit clash of the BWF World Tour Finals. The Indian dropped a place to world no.7 now. Mithun, on the other hand, won the tournament in Bangladesh, which helped him move up three spots, to world no. 38. 

The biggest gainer of the week was Kartikey Kumar, who gained eight spots, to be world no. 67 now. In the women's singles, Kashyap gained a spot and is in the 35th position now. Ashmita Chaliha, who lost in the final in Bangladesh, is ranked 50th in the world.

In the men's doubles, the dynamic pair of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila moved a step closer to their career-best ranking, and are at the 22nd spot currently. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty continue to remain India's best bets in doubles and are world no. 7 at the moment.

As far as women's doubles are concerned, Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand are the top team and remain static at the 19th spot.

In the last two years, when the Indian singles shuttlers have failed to live up to the expectations, surprisingly, one name has kept the flag flying high -- HS Prannoy. The WR-6 shuttler has won medals at almost all the major competitions and has an outside chance of winning medal at the Olympics.
An injury free 2023 season is what HS Prannoy and his fans deserveread next
With a Youth Olympic medal in 2010, a junior world championship medal in the same, to three BWF titles, Prannoy's career has largely remained unfulfilled. Look at the stats ever since he joined the seniors, he has been one of those one-match wonders where mostly he has succumbed under pressure.
