The 23-member Indian badminton team set off for Suzhou, China, where it will be competing in the highly-anticipated Sudirman Cup finals scheduled from May 14-21.

The Sudirman Cup, also known as World Mixed Team Badminton Championship, is a tournament where countries compete in an intense battle for supremacy.

With a remarkable track record, India has emerged as a strong force in international badminton. Its victory in the Thomas Cup last year followed by its triumph in the Badminton Asia Championship earlier this year has solidified its position as one of the leading badminton power houses in the world.

Extending its full support to Team India in its pursuit of excellence, Badminton Association of India General Secretary, Sanjay Mishra stated, “We have complete faith in our players and their capabilities. They have proven their courage on numerous occasions, and we believe they have what it takes to conquer the Sudirman Cup. The entire nation is behind them, cheering for their success.”
