This is Prannoy's best ranking and surpasses his previous best rank of World No. 7.

Prannoy had to settle for a bronze medal as he lost to Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the semifinal of the BWF World Championships.

Prannoy went down to World Number 3 and three-time junior champion Vitidsarn 21-18, 13-21, 14-21.

Prannoy had stormed into the semi-final after defeating World Number 2 and the defending champion Viktor Axelsen to ensure his bronze medal.

This is India's 14th medal at the World Championships. This tally includes a gold, four silvers and nine bronze medals. (ANI)
