Although pencilled in to play the first singles for his team Mumbai Rockets in the Premier Badminton League, India's Ajay Jayaram is of the opinion that World No. 3 women's singles player Sung Ji Hyun of South Korea is his team's trump card.

"We have a well-balanced team. Our biggest strength is women's singles. She (Hyun) is in great form. She has a fair chance against anyone," said Jayaram ahead of his team's season-opening tie against Delhi Acers at the NSCI Stadium today. "I will be playing first. I'm feeling quite confident. I'm hoping I can pull off crucial wins," said Jayaram who, along with another top Indian shuttler — HS Prannoy - will be figuring in men's singles.

Mumbai take on Hyderabad Hunters on January 4 to complete their home engagements of the season. Prannoy said things won't be easy for both in PBL. "It's going to be tough for both of us. Both the men's singles are going to be crucial. If we can pull out a couple of matches then we will be placed well to make the semis," said the World No. 28.
