Indian badminton player B Sai Praneeth crashed out in the second round of qualifiers of the BWF Super 500 tournament.

On what was otherwise a disappointing day for Indian badminton players at the Indonesia Masters 2023, Priyanshu Rajawat was the only men’s singles player to make the main draw in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Krishna Prasad Garaga and Vishnuvardhan Goud Panjala crashed out of the doubles main draw in the first round.

None of the other men’s singles players managed to progress.

Olympian B Sai Praneeth managed to beat Indonesia’s Ikhsan Leonardo Imanuel Rumbay 21-18, 9-21, 21-15 in the first round of qualifiers but lost to Malaysia’s Cheam June Wei 21-18, 21-19 in the second to bow out.
