Indian shuttlers are gearing up for a momentous Olympic campaign in Paris, with high hopes of clinching historic victories. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty aim to secure India's first-ever badminton gold, while PV Sindhu seeks a third consecutive Olympic medal.

Rankireddy and Shetty, who had a stellar run this year winning several titles, including the men's doubles Super 750 crown in Paris, will draw on their recent successes. PV Sindhu, despite battling injuries, remains a formidable contender with previous silver and bronze medals in her kitty.

Meanwhile, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy will vie for a medal, but their paths converge in a potentially decisive pre-quarterfinal clash. For Ashwini Ponnappa, this could be her swansong, leading the women's doubles challenge alongside debutant Tanisha Crasto. The stage is set for an exhilarating badminton season as India's top talent eyes the podium.
