Spearheaded by a fit-again and rejuvenated PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy, India will fancy their chances against Kazakhstan in their opening Group ‘B' tie at the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships, starting here today.

Two-time Olympic medallist and World No. 7 Sindhu has recovered completely from a stress fracture that kept her out of action for five months last year and is gunning for success in the new season.

The men's singles will be led by World No. 8 Prannoy and will also have World No. 10 Lakshay Sen.
