Will wipe off few players, benefit few others: Pullela Gopichand on badminton's new scoring system

Wait 5 sec.

Badminton's scoring system will change from 21x3 to 15x3 next year. Coach Pullela Gopichand believes this shift will significantly impact players' strategies and performance. The new format will emphasize speed, power, and mental strength for all competitors. Doubles players are expected to experience the most critical changes in their game. India's men's doubles future beyond Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty remains uncertain.
