In-form Kidambi Srikanth and two- time bronze medallist P V Sindhu will head a 21-member Indian contingent as they gun for the elusive gold medal at the World Badminton Championships starting at Glasgow tomorrow. First Indian woman to win a silver at 2015 World Championship, Saina Nehwal will also be in the reckoning. Interestingly, Saina and Sindhu have got byes in the opening round. In the run up to the event, however, it is the Indian men's shuttlers who have dominated the season, winning six titles. It included the maiden Super Series title win by 15th seed B Sai Praneeth at Singapore and Sameer Verma's victory at Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold in Lucknow. Sameer Verma will be playing his maiden World Championship after being given a direct entry in the main draw.Among other Indians in fray, Rio Olympians Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy, young duo of Chirag Sen and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Arjun MR and Ramchandran Shlok will compete in men's doubles. Sumeeth and Ashwini Ponnappa will pair up in mixed doubles, which will also see 15th seeds Pranaav Jerry Chopra and N Sikki Reddy and Satwik combining with Maneesha K. In women's doubles, Ashwini and Sikki, Meghana Jakkampudi and Poorvisha S Ram, and Sanjana Santosh and Arathi Sara Sunil too will try to make a mark. Chief national coach Pullela Gopichand said this is probably the strongest squad and would hope his wards bring back more than a medal from the prestigious event.
