ndian badminton ace Kidambi Srikanth is set to lead the country’s challenge at the Thailand Masters 2025, a BWF Super 300 tournament. The competition kicks off on Tuesday at the Nimibutr Stadium in Pathumwan, Thailand.
Badminton enthusiasts in India can catch all the action live through online streaming platforms.
Kidambi Srikanth’s Road to Redemption
Currently ranked 45th in the world, Srikanth will open his campaign against Israel’s Daniil Dubovenko, ranked 74th. Once the world’s top-ranked men’s singles player, Srikanth has faced a slump in recent years. His last notable performance came in March 2024, when he reached the semi-finals at the Swiss Open.
Last year, Srikanth’s journey at the Thailand Masters ended in the second round, following a loss to fellow Indian Mithun Manjunath. The 31-year-old will be eager to reclaim his form and make a strong comeback in 2025.
