Young shuttler Tasnim Mir became the first Indian to grab the world no 1 ranking in the under-19 girls singles in the latest BWF junior rankings.
The 16-year-old from Gujarat was rewarded for last year’s stellar run when she had secured titles in three junior international tournaments to jump three places to grab the top position in the junior world rankings.
Tasnim, who is supported by OGQ, is currently ranked a lowly 602 in the women’s singles.
This feat had not been achieved before by any Indian, including two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu and London bronze winner Saina Nehwal.
