While star shuttlers PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen will spearhead India라이브 바카라 challenge in the tie, the ace doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty has pulled out of the tournament, citing illness.
The Asian Games gold medallists and world number 11 Indian pairing was to return to action after an injury break but the Badminton Association of India (BAI) announced that Satwik and Chirag will be missing the tournament.
"Men's Doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty have withdrawn from the BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2025 due to illness. No replacements will be added to the squad," the BAI said.
Chirag had suffered a back injury during the second round of the All England Championships in March. The young pairing of Hariharan Amsakarunan and Ruban Kumar Rethinasabapathi will thus be the lone representation for India in the men's doubles category.
Earlier, the BAI had omitted the women's doubles pair of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly from the squad due to injury.
