@Prashanth @Fly_like_a_don @nitinsanker What are your opinions on India's next generation of shuttlers especially on the following players

Men's Singles - Kiran George, Meiraba Luwang Maisnam

Women's Singles - Aakarshi Kashyap, Malvika Bansod, Aditi Bhatt, Samiya Farooqui

Men's Doubles - Ishaan Bhatnagar + Sai Prateek

Women's Doubles - Ashwini Bhatt + Shikha Gautam

 

Also has Pranaav Chopra retired?

None of them are realistically expected expected to do well. Most of them are 20-23 which is a bit late considering the best players always achieve something before 20 (Saina QF Beijing 2008 at 18, Sindhu World champs medallist at 17, Lakshya at 20) 

 

MD they are elder / same age as Satwik but nothing impressive. Doubles has time usually but if they aint improving next 2-3 years it'll be very useful 

 

WD not at all a great pair 

 

WS again you have to be early. Unnati Hooda at 14 and Tasnim Mir at 16 have realistic chances.

I would put Malvika in the same category as Unnati and Tasnim. She does seem to have potential. We need to be a bit lenient with this batch as they have missed out on 2 years due to COVID and hence, there development will be slower compared to others. Considering that, I still have high hopes from these 3. Even Samiya and Aakrishi are not that old and can improve a lot. One more name to watch out is Anupama Upadhyay. 

 

In MS, Meiraba is still young and has performed decent in his debut year on senior circuit. So, I still have hopes from him. Though I don't have high hopes from Kiran, but I think it is early to discount him. He is just 21 and already has some decent wins on senior tour. He can be next gen Prannoy. Among the rest, I think Priyanshu is another one who can be a top player. Also, for Paris, I have really high hopes on Lakshya Sen. And Srikanth still should be among top for 3-4 years more. 

 

For Doubles, we have 3 very good doubles players in Tanisha Crasto, Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. On men's side we have a number of good young players (Krishna, Vishnu, Ishaan, Sai) Plus we have the beasts Satwik and Chirag. So, there is hope that among such a talented pool (and with return of Tan Kim Her), we should get some decent doubles team as well.
