In Badminton, ace Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth has stormed into the men’s singles finals of the Malaysia Masters with a thrilling victory over Japan’s Yushi Tanaka in Kuala Lumpur. The 32-year-old, a 2021 World Championships silver medallist, defeated Tanaka in straight games 21-18, 24-22 in the semifinal. With this win Kidambi Srikanth has become the first Indian shuttler to make it to the final this year.
The Indian star will face world No 4 Li Shi Feng of China in the final tomorrow, as the Chinese star defeated Kodai Naraoka in the other semifinal.
