Indian shuttler Ayush Shetty rose seven spots to No. 18 in the latest BWF rankings released on Tuesday after his successful run at the Badminton Asia Championships last week.
Shetty ended with a silver medal and became only the second Indian men’s singles player since Dinesh Khanna, who had won gold in 1965, to play in the final of the tournament.
Lakshya Sen was the only other Indian in the top 20, moving up one place to World No. 11. Shi Yu Qi of China, who won the gold in Ningbo, moved up one place to the top of the rankings.
