Yearender 2021: Lakshya Sen to Shaili Singh, a look at India's future sport stars

1. Lakshya Sen (Badminton) India's badminton Sensation (pun intended) Lakshya seemed destined for greatness as the teenager shone in the junior circuit before claiming the silver medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics. However, failure to match the rising expectations at the senior level turned many sceptic as Lakshya struggled to cope with the top shuttlers in the game. All those doubts, however, were put to rest in the last quarter of the year when he found splendid form to clinch the bronze medal at the prestigious BWF World Championships this month. There was more good news in store for Indian badminton fans as former World No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth also settled for silver at the event while defeating Lakshya in the semis.
