Malaysian Masters champ Prannoy lead India's charge at Indonesia Super 1000

In-form HS Prannoy will be in the spotlight as India's top shuttlers gear up for some tough opening round matches at the Indonesia Open, a BWF Super 1000 tournament, beginning here on Tuesday. Prannoy, who claimed the Malaysia Masters Super 300 title last month, looks promising to go deep into the tournament, where the creme-de-la-creme of world badminton is set to compete this week. The world number 8 Indian will be up against Kenta Nishimoto of Japan and a first round win is likely to pit him against China's Shi Yuqi in the second round. Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and 2021 world championships silver medallist Kidambi Srikanth will also look for impressive starts to their campaign, though they haven't been in the best of form this season. Sindhu made first round exits from the last two events, while Srikanth had a couple of quarterfinal finishes at Malaysia and Spain and they will have their task cut out against Indonesia's Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and China's Lu Guang Zu
