Top Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth, who on Wednesday qualified for the World Superseries Finals to be held in Dubai next month, went down by a place to be ranked No.8 in the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings released on Thursday.
Like Srikanth, H.S. Prannoy and Ajay Jayaram also slipped a place each to No.20 and 25, respectively, in the men's singles rankings but reigning Commonwealth Games champion rose a spot to be ranked No.14.
Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy also rose a place to No.20 in the men's doubles rankings.
But there was no movement for Saina Nehwal and P.V. Sindhu in women's singles, who stayed at No.2 and 12.
Likewise in women's doubles, Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa remained at No.12.
