Saina Nehwal and PV Sindu Badminton was a sport that India considered the most suitable. Over the last decade and half, he managed to create his own corner in the sports landscape, dominated by cricket and its various versions. The reasons were straight and simple. Girls and boys of Indian badminton often came – and usually with minimal stir and fanfare. Today, however, the shuttle game is experiencing decreasing revenues. The bad results in the last two years have been a reason for concern, but what is more alarming is that by far not fond of a larger scheme, the future seems bleak. There are no names that succeed or build on exploitation of the once packed Saine and Sindu, a former, pioneering star now 35 and 29 -year -old double Olympic medalist trying to clean up the initial obstacles. Since once he won three female single medals in consecutive Olympic Games and scaled the peak of men’s badminton by winning Thomas Cup in 2022 and winning the first Asian Game Gold in 2023, which gives the Chinese a taste for Indian jerking. With the exception of Satwiksairaj Ranléreddy and Chirag Shetty and to some extent Lakeshya dream, the rest of the Indians no longer attract their weight. The days of Saina Nehwal, PV Sindu, Kidambi Sricant, Sai Praneeth, HS prannoy and Satwik-chirag are the tournament popular now look remote memory. But it has been coming for some time. Since he opened the title HS prannoy’s Malaysia Open Super-500 in January 2023, a worrying trend has appeared where the Indians could not win the singles title. Only the double duo of Satwik-Chirag managed to win several titles. In April this year, India registered one of its poorest performances at the Sudirman Cup. After losing to Denmark and Indonesia with the same ranking of 1-4, India performed in the group phase. Singles, worries Things could not be more promising than in the last decade. A year after Saina Nehwal won the London Olympic bronze, Sindu arrived on the 2013 World Championship. Sricant would become the world of No. 1 and won four Super Series in 2017. In 2019, Sindu was crowned the world champion. In the same year, Sai Praneeth won bronze at the World Championship. This was seen in May Sricant for his former self when he did the final of Malaysia Masters. The trip set out, although it would prove huge personal support for the 32 -year -old former captain Thomas Cup (2022). Due to his low evaluation (65 during the Malaysian event), Sricant could not get entry into the several next tournaments. At the time of writing, Sricant in the first round bowed from the US Open (Super 300). A couple satwik-chirag arrived on the scene to push through Indian dominance in male doubles, especially at Commonwealth games. Later they are also struggling with fitness problems and they have to achieve the finals, even this year’s competitions in six tournaments. The point that leads to the challenge of male singles is the Lakeshya dream. Despite the fact that he showed a lot of promises, he reached the whole England and won the bronze in the world, Almora Shuttler won only two Super-500 titles. Waiting for the Super-750 or Super-21000. Lakeshya apart, there is no one at the level or Sricant or prannoy. But it is a female scene, it is more worrying. There is no clear answer to who will lead the Indian challenge. Obviously, Saine and Sindu are big shoes, but younger batch is nowhere near standards that have occurred a famous duo when they took quick steps in their career. Malvika Bansod, Aakarshi Kashyap, UNNATI HOODA, Anmol Kharb, Tanvi Patri and others are trying to fill the gap, but without success. Immersion of wealth When she took over in 2006 as the head coach of the Indian team Pulllela GoPichand, he promised to make him an impressive power. It was a period when no Indian in the TOP 10 and only a handful was in the TOP 100. When he set a noble goal, GoPichand achieved his first success at social games in 2010. One of the reasons contributing to the fall could be that the Indian badminton flourished under the golden generation. And as is happening in most of the excessive generations, their replacements are struggling as soon as the originals dry. Unlike Chinese or Malaysian feed systems in India, there was no proper plan to introduce a system that would regularly produce players. The talent search team has never been in place. Although Saine and Sindu inspired the lakhs of young people to take badminton, there are very few trained coaches who raise them. It is important that as the number grew, even the coaches present were not modified to deal with growing demand. Core identification Should the main group of developing players and modified, division into two groups, elite and developing to facilitate competition, things would never be so poor. Players like Malvika, Aakarshi, Tanvi and others could be brought under one roof and trained better. But in a typical Indian sports short observation, there has never been any step in this respect. This gap has expanded the gap between the elite and the developing players. While the international still played at the highest level, the second chain suffered due to lack of competition. Even now there is little effort to bridge the gap. Promising players lack the leadership While the National Association would not agree, the fact remains that there is no one to take care of the promising junior and sub-junior players across the country. The Minister of the Badminton Association of India (Bai) Sanjay Mishhra acknowledged that progress was not on expected lines. “Undoubtedly, our performances have suffered failure due to injury to key players. However, the next generation crossing also requires time to strengthen and maintain our competitive advantage,” Misra Toi said. “Bai focuses on strengthening coaching, driving injury and development of talents to ensure long -term perfection. Even though we are determined to build a strong ecosystem for global success, we must acknowledge that progress takes time,” he added, ” Hyderul in Hyderul and Hyderul in Hyderulus and Hyderulus and Hyderulus in Hyderurura and “Hyderulus and Academy in Hyderurura and“ In the next Academy. ” Former junior national coach was optimistic about the future. “The remarkable number of junior players is already included in the TOP 10, the intensity of competition at domestic events reflects the growing caliber of the emerging talents. Players are demanding and even overcome established champions. With the growing talent fund and focusing on structured coaching, we are convinced of a strong future in Indian badminton. Coaches should be trained and categorized At its recent annual General Meeting (AGM), BAI introduced the annual RS plan of 9.75-Crore to increase badminton growth. Although there are several interesting provisions, more emphasis should be placed on coaches.

“There should be three categories of coaches. The first categories for identifying the emerging talent and their care. The second should see them during their formative years and send them to national camps when they reach 12-14 years. In the third phase, trained trainers should educate and turn them into international talents. Bai assigned RS 73 lakh to offer monthly maintenance to the Olympians and former international ones who are now training players in national camps. But their experience will be enough to get another Saine and Sindhu? Very few champions have passed to successful coaches. There is a long -term demand for trained trainers. Identification of talent and care deserves the highest priority. More trained coaches and programs should be selected. Correction is needed for hours The results can do nothing, but if they want to improve the position of Indian badminton, an hour is needed by the right system, with a clear three to five -year plan up and ready. The association and coach should decide to schedule the tournament of the best shuttles, especially in the years of Olympic and Asian games. Several veteran players and administrators are of the opinion that a plan as a plan implemented by the Gopichand Pullela should be applied throughout the country. If so many champions can come from one academy, why can’t many others come from other parts of the country? There is no lack of talent, but first the right system should be introduced, otherwise this shuttle service along the road to average.
