· Sports · Sportstar, Indian Express, Times of India
Badminton player Simran Singhi is making her debut at the BWF World Championships in New Delhi, competing in women's doubles alongside partner Kavipriya Selvam. The 24-year-old navigated partnership changes, financial pressures, and career doubts to secure her place in the tournament draw. She and Selvam are scheduled to face the Spanish pair Nikol Carulla and Carmen Jimenez in their opening match. Growing up in Mumbai, Singhi began her badminton journey by chance before training at Goregaon Sports Club and rising to the international circuit. She will have family members in attendance at the Indira Gandhi Stadium, though she reflected on the absence of her late childhood mentor Manoj Ramachandran.
