Kidambi Srikanth Rejects Claims Of Poor Playing Conditions At India Open Badminton

Former world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth on Wednesday defended the playing conditions at the ongoing India Open, asserting that he is yet to come across anything "bad" at the venue and that minor organisational challenges are not specific to one host nation. Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt had on Tuesday caused a storm by criticising the conditions at the Indira Gandhi Stadium complex, calling the surroundings "unhealthy" and urging the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to intervene ahead of the World Championships later this year at the same venue.
