Sitting languidly at his home in Guntur, badminton champion Kidambi Srikanth is in a happy mood surrounded by his family and friends. Fresh from the record win at the Thomas Cup, where he played a lead role in India winning the cup for the first time, Srikanth is focussed on the next major championship, the Indonesian Open.
A few minutes before, budding badminton players, most of them children, visited his home on the Inner Ring Road on Thursday and congratulated him on his achievement. He spent a lot of time with them, motivating them to do better.
Earlier in the day, senior office-bearers of AP Badminton Academy, Punnaiah Chowdary, Rayapati Ranga Rao, Sampath Kumar and D. Srinivasa Rao congratulated him on his success.
