Currently playing in the India Open, Srikanth clinched the Swiss Grand Prix Gold earlier this month. The 22-year-old from Guntur rose to World No. 4 on the back of some sizzling performances, including title win at the China Open last year.
Srikanth visited the famous and oldest Indian mosque - Hazrat Nizammuddin Dargah and spent little over an hour, learning about the 800-year-old mosque. He was accompanied by his academy coach Md Shadab.
"I went to Nizamuddin Dargah to pray for a successful year ahead. I went to seek Almighty's blessings for Olympics," Srikanth said.
The soft-spoken Indian shuttler today reached the second round of the India Open after beating Thailand's Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk 21-17 21-16 at the Siri Fort Sports Complex.
