World Championships bronze medallist B Sai Praneeth on Monday announced his retirement from international badminton, bringing down curtains on a successful career during which he won the Singapore Open and also represented India at the Tokyo Olympics. The 31-year-old from Hyderabad decided to hang his boost after battling nagging injuries since the Tokyo Games. "With a mix of emotions, I pen down these words to bid farewell and announce my retirement from the sport that has been my lifeblood for over 24 years," he posted on his Instagram account.
"Today, as I embark on a new chapter, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for the journey that brought me here.
"Badminton, you have been my first love, my constant companion, shaping my character and giving purpose to my existence. The memories we've shared, the challenges we've overcome, will forever be etched in my heart."
Praneeth will be beginning a new innings now as he is set to join as a head coach of Triangle Badminton Academy in USA next month.
