BAI's selection trials: Praneeth out of contention; Sameer, Kiran to fight for 1-4 positions
Praneeth's hopes of making the Indian team for the upcoming major team events were dashed after he failed to top stage 2A group on day 3 of BAI's selection trials here on Sunday. Praneeth, ranked World number 19, suffered a 21-23, 21-11, 16-21 loss to fast-rising Kiran George, who had claimed the Odisha Open Super 100 title in January. Later in the day, Praneeth beat Ansal Yadav 21-16, 21-9 to finish second best in stage 2A group at the KD Jadhav Hall inside Indira Gandhi Stadium Complex.
