Saina Nehwal leapfrogs to World No. 2

New Delhi: The meteoric rise of Saina Nehwal continued unabated as the ace Indian shuttler moved up one place from third to second in the international badminton rankings. Nehwal is now sandwiched between two Chinese, with Wang Yihan occupying the No.1 spot while Wang Xin lies behind her at No.3

It comes after a hat-trick of titles for Nehwal who recently won the Indian Open Grand Prix, Singapore Open Super Series and Indonesian Open Super Series.

This comes as a morale-booster as she prepares for the World Badminton Championships in Paris next month to be followed by the Commmonwealth Games and Asian Games

Puja belongs to Gujarat's Jamnagar district and is a management graduate. "Entire Indian team and the BCCI officials are invited," said Arvind Pujara, Cheteshwar's father. However, his teammates are not likely to attend, as they would be busy preparing for the series against Australia. Pujara did not play in the Irani Trophy match against Mumbai and also missed the Board President XI tie against Australia on account of his marriage. He won't have much time to spend with the wife as he would be joining the Indian team by February 15.
