PBL 2017 : Mumbai Rockets - Fixtures, Schedule, Players List

South Korean ace Sung Ji Hyun is the star signing for Mumbai this season, and she would love to carry on her international form to her franchise. Sung had a brilliant year winning three titles and was particularly excellent towards the end of the year winning all her group games at the Dubai World Superseries Finals - beating PV Sindhu and Carolina Marin in doing so. The World number 5 will be the main threat for the team from Mumbai as they try to launch a serious challenge for the 2017 Premier Badminton League title (PBL-2). Vrushali Gummadi will act as an understudy for the South Korean.

South Korean Lee Yong Dae is the main star in the doubles and all eyes would be on the World No. 1 when he takes to the court for the Rockets. Thai Nipitphon Phuangphuapet could prove to be a worthy partner for Dae as the two could form a very stable partnership as the competition progresses. Chirag Shetty is the third men's doubles player in the Mumbai setup. As far as the women's team is concerned, Mumbai have opted for World No. 16 Nadiezda Zieba and Indian Mohita Sahdev, who could quite easily step up to the big stage if called upon.
