New Delhi [India], October 11 (ANI): Commonwealth Games champion Lakshya Sen continues to move up in BWF World rankings and is now at career-high eighth position.
The men's doubles pair of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila also moved closer to top 20 by jumping two spots in the latest rankings.
Maintaining his position in the top 10, Sen moved up one spot in the rankings. The 21-year-old has been in good form, starting the year with a gold medal at the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2022. He also had runner-up finishes at the prestigious All England Open Championships and German Open. He was also a key member in India's historic Thomas Cup triumph after 73 years.

In-form duo of Arjun and Dhruv have consistently made a steady rise in the rankings after they began the year at 42nd position. With a jump of two spots, they have climbed to career-best World Number 21 .
The Indian pair, which recently clinched the title of India Maharashtra International Challenge 2022, are known for causing upsets, one of which came in this year's BWF World Championships where they took just 40 minutes to stun the then World No. 8 Danish pair of Kim Astrup and Anders Rasmussen.
Two-time Olympics medallist PV Sindhu has remained sixth in the women's singles rankings while the pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy are ranked eighth in the men's doubles section. (ANI)
