Saina Nehwal has revealed on social media that she has been diagnosed with acute Gastroenteritis and mild Pancreatitis. The shuttler returned to India after the All England Badminton Championship, giving a miss to the Swiss Open in Basel after doctors advised her to get admitted in the hospital.

Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth lost their quarter-final encounters on Friday and with that, India’s challenge at the ongoing All England Open Badminton Championship has come to an end. Nehwal lost to Tai Tzu Ying in women’s singles while Srikanth was defeated by Kento Momota in men's singles.

Pullela Gopichand had hoped that India can shake off their All England Open jinx and that one of the three Indian players can win the premier tournament this year. Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, and Kidambi Srikanth will be participating in the international competition later this year.

PV Sindhu will be India's biggest hope in the ongoing World Championships, where fans will hope the World No. 3 escapes the burdens of the past that have weighed her down so far. A closer look at her losses reflect issues with the mental and physical approach and rather than shaky confidence.
