With their deep runs at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow, India’s Malvika Bansod was among the big movers in the badminton rankings published today.

Bansod finished runner-up against PV Sindhu, and produced a superb win against young Anupama Upadhyaya in the semi-final. The 16-year-old, who is top 10 in the junior ranking, also entered top 100 in the senior circuit.

Ishaan Bhatnagar-Tanisha Crasto, who won the mixed doubles title, and Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand, women’s doubles runners-up also made big gains.
