Internet Desk: India’s star shuttler PV Sindhu on Thursday climbed up two places to be at No.3 in the latest BWF ranking released today.

The Rio Olympics silver medalist Sindhu had slipped to number five last week, earned two spots after reaching the quarterfinals of the recently-concluded Singapore Open Super Series.

The 21-year-old Sindhu had reached a career-best World No. 2 two weeks ago.

London Olympics bronze medallist Saina Nehwal also jumped up a place to be ranked eighth.

In the men’s singles, the finalists of the Singapore Open — runner-up Kidambi Srikanth and winner B Sai Praneeth — both jumped as many as eight positions each to be placed at 21st and 22nd respectively.

Ajay Jayaram continued to be the highest-ranked Indian at the 13th position, having moved a place.
