Lakshya Sen Reveals Injury Struggles Behind Form Slump After All England Heroics

In March, Indian men’s singles shuttler Lakshya Sen enjoyed a brilliant run at the All England Championships, beating Shi Yu Qi, NG Ka Long Angus, Li Shi Feng and Victor Lai before going down to Lin Chun-Yi in the final. Despite missing out on the title, Lakshya capped off a memorable week in Birmingham with a podium finish. But that brilliant run was followed by a string of first-round exits at the Badminton Asia Championships, Malaysia Masters, Indonesia Open, Japan Open, China Masters and Denmark Open over the course of the year.
