New Delhi, Jan 14(UNI): Former champion Kidambi Srikanth and the experienced HS Prannoy turned the tables on their younger opponents to advance to the men’s singles second round of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2026, a HSBC BWF World Tour Super 750 event on Wednesday. 16-year-old Tanvi Sharma displayed her potential with a gutsy performance against second seed Wang Zhi Yi of China in the women’s singles first round to advance to the second round Badminton Association of India(BAI) organised event.
