Double Olympic medallist P V Sindhu gained two places to reach the 15th spot but Kidambi Srikanth lost a place to slip to 20th position in the latest BWF World ranking released on Tuesday.


Sindhu, who is going through a rough patch, had recorded a quarterfinal finish at the Australian Open after losing to eventual champion Beiwen Zhang of USA last week.


Srikanth too had lost in the last 8 in Sydney after going down to fellow Indian Priyanshu Rajawat.
