India, who emerged as the most successful team at Gold Coast 2018 with six medals — the same as England who had a silver medal less, are defending champions in the Mixed Team competition having won the title four years back in Gold Coast ahead of Malaysia. They have in their ranks stars like former World No 1 and ex-World Champion PV Sindhu, the two-time Olympic medallist, Kidambi Srikanth, silver medallist in the World Championship in December … [Read more...] about CWG 2022: All eyes on PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth as India Look to Dominate in Badminton
