“Felicitated wizard of #badminton @ srikidambi for his lightning victories & the new-age Dronacharya - coach P.Gopichand for his great vision,” tweeted Goel.

Srikanth, who had clinched back to back titles, has entered the Top 10 of the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) Rankings. 

He surged to the eighth spot in rankings after lifting titles at the Australian Open Super Series and Indonesia Super Series Premier within a week’s time. Srikanth had previously made it to top ten in October 2016, a few months after reaching the quarter-finals of the Rio Olympics.
