Malaysia Open: Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy Suffer First-round Exit, Kidambi Srikanth Moves To Second-round

Ng Ka Long Angus: Young Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen faced a setback in the first round, succumbing to a straight-game defeat at the hands of China's Weng Hong Yang in the season-opening match of the Malaysia Open.

The 23-year-old, currently ranked 16th in the world, has now encountered five consecutive first-round exits, raising concerns about his form and confidence. Lakshya's last notable performance came in the World Championships last year, making it imperative for the rising star to rediscover his winning touch.

In contrast, the dynamic duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, ranked second in the world, provided a silver lining for Indian badminton enthusiasts. The pair, with a string of accomplishments from the previous season, faced a formidable Indonesian duo in their opening match. Displaying resilience and skill, Satwik and Chirag secured a hard-fought victory with scores of 21-18, 21-19, showcasing their prowess on the international stage.
