Malvika Bansod Soars to Career-Best 23rd Rank in BWF World Rankings
In an inspiring achievement for Indian badminton, Malvika Bansod has climbed to a career-best 23rd rank in the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) world rankings. At just 23 years old, the Nagpur-based shuttler has become the third Indian woman to break into the top 25, joining the ranks of legends like Saina Nehwal and P.V. Sindhu.
Quarterfinal Success at All England Championships
Malvika’s impressive rise in the rankings was bolstered by her recent performance at the All England Championships, where she reached the quarterfinals. This outstanding feat earned her 4,800 points, pushing her from 28th to 23rd in the world rankings with a total of 46,802 points.
Sindhu’s Ranking Update
In contrast, fellow Indian star P.V. Sindhu experienced a setback, dropping to 17th place after an early exit in the All England Championships. Sindhu now holds 53,790 points, but both she and Malvika remain the top two Indian women shuttlers in the world.
Future Prospects in Basel
As Malvika prepares for her upcoming matches in Basel, Switzerland, she expressed her gratitude to her coaches, family, and supporters. “I have worked very hard to reach my career-best so far. I still have a long way to go to make our nation proud,” she said. If both players perform well, they could face each other in a thrilling quarterfinal match, a clash of two generations in Indian badminton.
