    http://Trump Match in Premier Badminton League will be a big challenge for coaches: Kidambi Srikanth

    "We have never done these kind of things and obviously it (The Trump Match) is exciting. There will be a lot of strategy involved in it. I think it is a very big job and a challenge for any coach," srikanth told reporters.

    A team winning the 'Trump Match', after selecting one of the five matches in a tie, would fetch them a bonus point and a negative point in case of defeat.
    Bengaluru Top Guns coach Arvind Bhat admitted that the rule will throw a big challenge for the coach.

    "The rule will throw a big challenge before the coach, and he has to take the right decision on it, so that the team gains bonus points rather than losing points and eventually losing the tie from a winning position, in rare cases," Bhat said.

    Bhat said the new rule involves lot of strategising which can play a vital role in some crunch matches, which will have an effect on the entire tournament.

    As per the 'Trump Match' rules, both teams will specify which of the five matches will be their respective Trump Match along with the list of players at least one hour before the start of the tie with the referee.

    In a Trump Match, the team calling for the Trump gets 2 points for win and -1 points for loss. However, the other team will play this match as a normal one. If both the teams place the trump on the same match, then for both of them +2 or -1 scoring will apply for win or loss respectively.

    India's chief national coach Pullela Gopichand said Trump Match is a fantastic idea as it will keep spectators, viewers and players glued to the matches.

    "What it basically does is, if the tie is 3-0 up, teams can actually lose last two matches and lose the tie. So, basically every match is going down to the wire," he said.

    "At the end of the League, players will realise how they fared in Trump Matches," he added.




    Good for badminton. Bring more new rules to make it exciting. I want srikanth to do well in 2016. Though Srikanth was out of form most of ending season, he still got 1 superseries title, 1 GPG, 2 GPG runner up. I am expecting more superseries titles. Luck also need to favour him as if it happens to Kento Momoto.

    It is a race to 15 under the current scoring system.
    1) They want players to treat every point as important and not take it easy.
    2) Shorter, adds excitement and finishes within the stipulated 4 hours for 5 matches. ;)

    [MENTION=123108]Baddyforall[/MENTION] Trump matches have 2 points for a win and -1 for a loss. Since both teams lost their trump matches the final score is Mumbai Rockets Beat Awadh Warriors 2-1. ;)

    Ruthvika Shivani looked very calm and relaxed while Vrushali was tense. This is good exposure for these young players.
    It was nice to see Cai Yun with a big smile. He was enjoying himself on and off court. :)

    I don't believe KS gave glimpses of his capabilities today.. It'll be fantastic if this league helps KS to get back on track

    Fox, That was an enjoyable match! Surprisingly the majority of the crowd was behind Lee Chong Wei.
    Srikanth Kidambi had a miserable 2015 and started 2016 in style. He came in low on confidence and leaves
    mentally tougher. The 2016 Thomas Cup will give an indication of his mental strength and form ahead of Rio. ;)

    That was great from Srikanth. I hope Srikanth a great 2016.
    Although LCW was clearly tired from his flight, Sri got a great victory. This will boost his morale.

    Yeah he was low on confidence after his disastrous outing at Dubai but by the end he was roaring in delight and the zeal from victory.. It was great to watch of course LCW wasn't at his best for whatever reason but this match only does one thing that is to boost KS's Morales

    Yep,it was phenomenal match especially if you are a Srikanth fan.He was 5-0 down in first set and then won string of good points playing very aggressive badminton.........Second set,LCW totally annihilated Srikanth with his unreal smashes..............Third set,Srikanth started GOAT'ing and there was nothing LCW wanted to do/could have done,particularly at a point when Sri's smashes were kissing the lines left,right and centre.
