Hopes will be high on French Open champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty to end India's 23-year-old title draught at the All England Championships as they lead the country's charge in the tournament, starting here on Tuesday. Prakash Padukone (1980) and Pullela Gopichand (2001) were the last Indians to claim the title with Saina Nehwal (2015) and Lakshya Sen (2022) being the only ones to come close when they finished runner-ups. The prestigious tournament holds an iconic status in India but over the years its exclusivity has somewhat dwindled as it is now one of the four Super 1000 event on the international calendar. Satwik and Chirag have already won a Super 1000 title in Indonesia last year and given their stellar run this season, expectations would be at a record high when the two towering shuttlers take the court this week, following their exploits at Paris on Sunday night.
