SRIKANTH IN FINE FORM!

YET ANOTHER STAR EMERGES FROM GOPICHAND ACADEMY, THIS TIME IT’S 24-YEAR-OLD KIDAMBI SRIKANTH, CURRENTLY RANKED WORLD NUMBER 8 IN BADMINTON

-

After Kidambi Srikanth’s back-toback wins in the World Badminton Super Series, he has stormed into the World Top 10, entering the elite group at Number 8. Now, the 24-year-old Guntur lad, yet another star produced by former world champion Gopichand, is already being talked of as being in the same league.

After defeating the World Olympic champion, Chen Long to claim the Australian Open Super Series, Srikanth followed it up with a triumph over Japan’s Kazumasa Sakai in the Indonesia Open Final recently. This achievemen­t has made Srikanth the first Indian shuttler to win consecutiv­e Super Series titles.

Riding on the crest of his self-confidence, Srikanth has vowed that there is much more to come.

SATURN TO BOOST SRIKANTH’S FORTUNES

Srikanth has Saturn atmakaraka and karakamsa becomes Virgo. Saturn is placed in its own sign. Aspecting Saturn and bhatru karaka Sun makes his chart very strong. Saturn brings revelation­s and recognitio­n through hard work, perseveran­ce and dedication.

HE WILL ACHIEVE FAME AND GLORY

He also has exalted Venus, and Jupiter is aspecting it, which will make him achieve great results. Mercury is in the star of Mars, indicating his attacking mindset and well-thought-out game plan.

CONSISTENT PERFORMANC­ES

Currently, the transiting Jupiter is moving over the natal Jupiter and aspecting Saturn, Sun and Jupiter. Due to such a benefic transit of Jupiter, Srikanth has so far achieved splendid results in major tournament­s. He will continue to perform well in the latter part of 2017 as well. The transiting Jupiter will help his career significan­tly from September 2017. However, the forthcomin­g transit of Rahu in Cancer will remain difficult for him, due to which he may face some resistance.

INTERNATIO­NAL RANKING TO IMPROVE REMARKABLY

The transiting Jupiter will help him battle it out and allow him to make his mark at the Internatio­nal level between October 2017 and September 2018. Srikanth’s ranking will improve significan­tly. However, he will have to take extra care of his health and fitness during the latter half of 2017, and again between April and August 2018.

It has been a truly memorable performanc­e to beat someone like Chen Long (current Olympic champion) and glad that Srikanth showed he had the game to beat anyone on his day — PULLELA GOPICHAND I think Srikanth is in great form. It is very creditable. He has reached three Super Series finals and won two, it is one of his best periods — PRAKASH PADUKONE Congratula­tions Srikanth K.! You have beaten the best. Given India a pride of place. Proud of you — AMITABH BACHCHAN There is much more to come — KIDAMBI SRIKANTH
