Lakshya Sen Looking Forward To Playing His First Commonwealth Games Match

With Commonwealth Games 2022, just around the corner, Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen said that he is looking forward to being a part of his first senior multi-sporting event. The Indian badminton contingent arrived at Birmingham on Monday for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. "I feel excited to be a part of the Commonwealth Games 2022. I have seen in the past how these games are and how important they are for India. I am really looking forward to playing my first game. My practice session over here went good, so, I am really confident," Lakshya Sen told ANI.

Lakshya Sen eager to prove mettle in his first Commonwealth Games

Commonwealth Games. The 20-year-old from Almora defeated Loh to win the India Open this January. A couple of months later he came up with a sensational show at the All England Championships, where he became the first Indian to reach the final in two decades. He even dethroned reigning champion Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia. Lakshya , who trains at the Prakash Padukone Academy in Bengaluru, excelled at the junior level before making rapid strides in the senior category. Last December, he stunned many by becoming the youngest Indian man to win a medal at the World Championships, where he lost to Srikanth in the semifinals. The CWG field in men’s singles is weak and it would be a major upset if Lakshya, Srikanth or Loh don’t win in Birmingham. The withdrawal of Lee Zii Jia and Loh’s loss of form have increased the chances of Indian men.
