In 2021, Lakshya won a Bronze medal

A shoulder injury in the number one spot up to the CWG in Birmingham hampered Lakshya's performance as he missed two or three events. The youthful shuttler has been in a rich vein of structure for quite a while having come out on top for his Super 500 championship in January, wrapping sprinters up at the All England Championships and German Open, and winning Thomas Cup.
Lakshya won the bronze medal at the 2021 world championships and he is a former highest-ranked junior shuttler.
