#1 Strengths

Kidambi Srikanth will need to take the responsibility as far as Men’s Singles is concerned

There is little doubting that Kidambi Srikanth will be the main man for the Bengaluru Top Guns. The 22-year-old, who is currently ranked 9th in the world, will have the bulk of the work to do when it comes to the Men’s Singles and will also probably play the Trump Match.

In Ashwini Ponnappa, the team also has an experienced doubles player who will play Mixed Doubles with Joachim Nielsen, a partnership that was seen in the opening edition of the League as well when both players played for the Pune franchise.
