so many locals playing. Bound to find the next gopichand in the future.![]()
How old is P. Kashyap...? If he is past 24, I doubt it.
But he can stretch Taufik to 3 games twice, which shows that he improved since Chong Wei Feng defeated him in straight games in the first qualifying round of the All-England.
Right now, India does not need one Gopichand. It is better to have 4-5 "good" players than one "very good" player.
If a pool of players start developing, "very good" players will start arising themselves.
I have good expectations from Kashyap, Gurusaidutt, Praneeth, Sikki and Thulasi. Hope they start playing to their potential.
