Hyderabad has been the Badminton hub of the country with the biggest talents of India like P.V Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal, all becoming permanent residents in the city only because it provides the best infrastructure for badminton practices in the country. If you want to become professionally trained in badminton, then there are a lot of badminton academies to look forward to.
