Lakshya Sen, the badminton sensation from Almora, Uttarakhand, reached two goals that he set for himself for 2021 by stamping his class to emerge the best Indian player for the year and also crash-landed in Top 20 of the world rankings. So, what’s in store for Lakshya in 2022 and what does he need to focus on? According to Vimal, Lakshya has to bring in more variations in his smashes. They are always hit on a steep angle which experienced players have no problems negotiating. 

“I would like higher trajectory on the smash sometimes and also see him bring in fast steep drops. He also has to learn how to control rallies when shuttles are on the slower side,” said Vimal. Viktor Axelsen, the reigning Olympic champion, reckoned Lakshya is doing well for himself and it is only a matter of time he makes it to the Top 10. Each tournament is a learning process and the young Indian player is well on track, felt Axelsen.
