Gopichand and the Indian camp would be disappointed by that Game 1. More than Lin Dan's brilliance, it was Srikanth that handed that game to the Chinese maestro.

After several big names crashed out of Rio Olympics 2016, Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu and Srikanth have kept the country's medal hopes alive with their stupendous performances.

On Wednesday, Sindhu had a tough match up here sleeves as she locked horns with World No. 2 Wang Yihan in the quarter-finals.

Sindhu, who has been in fine form lately, upstaged her higher-ranked opponent in straight games to advance into the semis.

Today, Srikanth is up against Dan – one of the greatest shuttlers ever.

The Chinese has not only won the World Championship five times, but is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Srikanth can take confidence from the fact that he stunned Super Dan in his own backyard by winning the China Open in 2014 (WATCH it here). 

In his quarter-final match, Srikanth beat Denmark's World No 5 Jan O Jorgensen in straight games.

Here are some details you must know about the match:

Time: The quarter-final match will start at 5:50 pm IST

TV listing: The match can be watched on Star Sports 2/HD.
