⚠️ Weaknesses

Worst spin economy rate in the PowerPlay among teams

👀 Player to Watch

Sanju Samson

If Samson settles into the role quickly, he could address one of the team’s biggest issues from last season: slow starts.

Unlike the previous edition two years ago, the upcoming one falls in a non-Olympic year and hence, there are no distractions. In fact, it will provide a glimpse of how things may turn out at the Asian Games.

Availability of all senior and experienced players combined with a fresh crop of youngsters meant that the teams pretty much picked themselves based on BWF rankings as of March 10.
