BWF Rankings: HS Prannoy back in top 15

HS PRANNOY's recent run has earned him a place back in top 15 in the newly released Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings. Playing well at the Canada GP, then winning the USA GPG and at New Zealand GPG are his notable recent performances.

Though he is happy about his rankings, disappointment lurks around as he failed to qualify for the World Badminton Championships.

Good to be back into the top 15 of the WR. No World championships this time for me! Disappointing but that's how it is!! pic.twitter.com/sej8qQ0McD
