India gears up to organise the third edition of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open BWF World Tour Super 750, slated to begin on the 14th of January in New Delhi, and will feature some elite Indian players including the likes of Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, PV Sindhu and the star pairing of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, in addition to international superstars such as Viktor Axelsen, An Se Young, and Shi Yuqi.
India have three entries in the men’s singles, four in the women’s singles, two in the men’s doubles, eight in women’s doubles and four in mixed doubles, making it their biggest ever contingent at the event.
The flagship event scheduled to be played at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall, Indira Gandhi Stadium, offers up a prize pool of USD 950,000 and 11,000 points for the champions following its elevation to a Super 750 event.
“The 2025 Yonex-Sunrise India Open is a clear indication of how Indian players are steadily carving out their place among the best in global badminton. With so many Indian players competing in a Super 750 event, it’s a remarkable sign of the growth and rise of Indian badminton on the world stage,” Badminton Association of India General Secretary Sanjay Mishra said.
“This is just the beginning—2025 promises to be a year where more names will feature alongside the established names, while fresh faces will emerge and shine bringing glory and pride to India,” he continued.
“The competition at the IG Stadium will be a testament to the rising caliber of Indian talents,” Mishra said.
The tournament is expected to be of the highest pedigree citing the fact that 18 of the world’s top 20 ranked men and 14 of the top 20 ranked women will be in contention for the coveted prize.
The doubles events will feature China’s Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang along with Paris 2024 bronze medallists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia, Danish combination of Kim Astrup and Anders Rasmussen and Indonesia’s Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
