B Sai Praneeth and Kidambi Srikanth, forever a part of Indian badminton history

Last month, B Sai Praneeth and Kidambi Srikanth made history by becoming the first Indian badminton pair to reach the final of a Superseries when they faced each other in the summit clash of the Singapore Open.

It was a win-win situation for Indian badminton, but for 24-year-old Sai this was a huge occasion, for he had never in his career gone past the quarter-final stage of a Superseries or won a Grand Prix Gold tournament.
