\"The 2025 India Open is a clear indication of how Indian players are steadily carving out their place among the best in global badminton. With so many Indian players competing in a Super 750 event, it\u2019s a remarkable sign of the growth and rise of Indian badminton on the world stage. This is just the beginning\u20142025 promises to be a year where more names will feature alongside the established names, while fresh faces will emerge and shine bringing glory and pride to India,\" said Sanjay Mishra, general secretary, Badminton Association of India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from Chirag-Satwik and Prannoy, India will be looking at 2022 men\u2019s singles champion Lakshya Sen, and two-time Olympic medallist and former world women\u2019s singles champion PV Sindhu to challenge for the prestigious title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The quality of competition can be gauged from the fact that only two players from the top-20 ranked men\u2019s singles players will be missing in action in New Delhi, while the women\u2019s singles draw will have 14 of the top-20 players competing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With many top players in doubles categories announcing retirement after the Paris Olympics or changing partners, the paired events are expected to come up with a few surprise results but the focus of Indian fans will expectedly be on the performance of Chirag and Satwik, as the latter is coming back after an injury lay-off and hasn\u2019t played much after the Olympics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The men\u2019s doubles line-up is being led by China\u2019s Paris Olympics silver medal-winning combination of Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang along with Paris bronze medallists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia, Danish combination of Kim Astrup and Anders Rasmussen and Indonesia\u2019s Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto will also be in action.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
