BWF Para Badminton World Rankings: India’s star para shuttler Sukant Kadam has climbed to World No. 2 in the SL4 category in the latest BWF Para Badminton World Rankings, following a string of impressive performances at the recently concluded Spanish Para Badminton International 2025.

Sukant now stands at 53,650 points, just behind Indonesia’s Fredy Setiawan (56,680 points), with France’s Lucas Mazur in third place at 48,400 points.

The ranking surge came after a strong showing across two Grade 2 tournaments and one Grade 1 tournament in Spain. Sukant was sublime during the Grade 2 event, where he clinched gold in the SL4 category, defeating fellow Indian Tarun in a dominant final with a scoreline of 21-13, 21-10.
