We are here with another best performance article about another great Indian Sportsperson who does not always get the credit he deserves so we will try in this article to tell our readers about this excellent badminton player who has come into the limelight recently and is hopeful will stay for a long period of time. Kidambi Srikanth is also one of the most humble stars in Indian sports and this is one quality which I like a lot about him.
Before we get into the Top 5 Best Performances I just want to say I would love to see Kidambi Srikanth win an Olympic Medal in 2024 and get better with each passing tournament. He has all the tools and a young Lakshya Sen who I am sure motivates him to do better. So, with that being said let’s look at his Top 5 Best Performances.

The best performance in the career of Kidambi Srikanth came last year at the World Championship where he was playing at his heat and he won all the matches leading into the all Indian semi final against Lakshya Sen and it was an incredible match where Kidambi Srikanth lost the first set but won the next 2 to reach the final.

Kidambi Srikanth in the semi final was facing a better opponent who beat him in 3 sets but in the Bronze Medal match he beat his Singapore opponent in 2 sets to win the Bronze Medal which I am sure would mean a lot to him. Now only the Gold Medal is left at the Commonwealth Games for Kidambi Srikanth.
