written by Atharva Jori

Masters of team events, Indonesian Ubaidillah (men's singles) and Wiryawan (women's singles) highlight the gap in class, with scalding second set loss marginsIndia might have cone a long way in winning a mixed team bronze at the Badminton World Junior Championships in Guwahati. But they have a considerably longer way to go in junior development and preparing those on the brink of seniors transition, before they get into the top tier. ad The top tier right now is Indonesia, winner of Asian event earlier and defending champions. Their junior brigade that there’s more to winning than aggression, attack and skill – and Indians remain tactically very suspect, especially in doubles. Unnati Hooda, India’s most optimistic bet to drag India out of their struggle, ‘lost’ her matches 9-10 and 7-9 to Thalita Wiryawan as India went down 45-35, 45-21 in straight sets in the relay format, though the sucker punches cane in womens doubles.
