About Lakshya Sen
Lakshya Sen is India’s brightest young men’s badminton talent. Born on 16 August 2001 in Almora, he trained under his father DK Sen before moving to the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy. He won the Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2022 and claimed a World Championship bronze medal — establishing himself as a top-20 BWF player. His left-handed play, excellent net game, and improving physical conditioning make him a dangerous opponent on the Asian circuit.
Asian Games 2026 Preview
Lakshya Sen enters the Asian Games with something to prove — he has the tools to challenge Asia’s best but needs a deep run at a major Asian championship to confirm his star status. He will face stiff competition from China’s Shi Yuqi, Lee Zii Jia (Malaysia), and Japan’s top players, but his technical skills give him a genuine chance of a medal.
