The Best Badminton players in India

.

Badminton in India is currently going great guns. I would say that it has in fact now scaled such heights that were scaled never before. Of  course we had had some great players earlier like Prakash Padukone & Pullela Gopichand, but it is only in recent times that the game is receiving a large number of followers, and much thanks for this must go to the tremendously talented Saina Nehwal.

This blog is my Badminton book, and I am opening this book now for all badminton lovers in India.

Here's a list of some of the best badminton players in India in the current times. I have ordered the players according to their current ranking, though the Badminton Association of India may be using different methodologies to define the ranking within India.

These World Rankings are as on Date: 17/Oct/2011

The Top 10 Best Womens Singles Players in India alongwith their current World Ranking are listed below. (Click on the player names to view player profiles)
