Me and Sikki on right track, says doubles shuttler Ashwini

TIL Desk Sports/ With India’s doubles badminton struggling at the international level, star women’s doubles player Ashwini Ponnappa, who has paired up with N. Sikki Reddy, is confident of reversing the trend, saying the combination is on the right track.

Ashwini and Sikki, who lost in the second round of the World Championships to Danish second seeds Kamilla Rytter Juhl and Christinna Pedersen, said it takes some time to adjust to new partners.

“It’s been eight months since Sikki and I paired up. And in those eight months, we’ve had some good performances and some bad performances — like any other pair,” Ashwini, who was successful with Jwala Gutta as the pair won many medals in international events, told. “And being a fairly new pair, I’d say we’ve done well so far and are on the right track.”
