BWF World Rankings: India's young sensation Lakshya Sen breaks into top-10 after All England heroics

Kidambi Srikanth showed grit and determination when he overcame his own countryman Lakshya Sen at the BWF Championships men's singles semi-final&nbsp;on Saturday.

Srikanth after losing the first set 17-21 was trailing 4-8 in the second set but then he brought his all past experiences into play against 20-year-old Sen who became the youngest Indian male shuttler to win a medal at BWF Championships. Former Indian No.1&nbsp;won the second set from 4-8 to 21-13 and the third set from 10-13 to 21-17 in a spectacular fightback.

The World No.14 would be hoping for a similar show against Singapore's Loh Kean Yew who ousted World No. 3, Anders Antonsen, in straight games 23-21 and 21-14.

Surprisingly, both Kidambi Srikanth and Loh Kean Yew are the first from their country to reach the finals of the BWF World Championships. None among them will leave any stone unturned to take their maiden trophy home.
