Ayush Shetty prepares for World Championship debut in India

Ayush Shetty BWF World Championships Indian badminton Shi Yu Qi Badminton Asia Championships

Indian badminton player Ayush Shetty is preparing for his debut at the BWF World Championships, which returns to India for the first time in 17 years. The 21-year-old unseeded player faces a difficult opening match against China's world number one, Shi Yu Qi.

Shetty has been working with Indonesian coach Irwansyah Adi Pratama to transition from a laid-back playing style to a more aggressive and agile approach. He noted that while he has lost to Shi three times previously, including the Badminton Asia Championships final, the experiences have provided tactical lessons.

Ahead of the tournament, which begins on August 17, Shetty expressed a desire to set his own benchmarks rather than measuring himself against the legacy of India's previous badminton stars.
