Bursting with confidence, the Indian Shuttles will be in action at the 34th Thailand Open. The badminton tournament is scheduled to take place from May 17th to 22nd, 2022.
After winning the recently concluded Thomas Cup 2022 in Bangkok on Sunday (May 15), the Indian badminton contingent will look to maintain the winning streak.
