Kidambi Srikanth created history on Saturday by becoming the first Indian shuttler to enter the final in the men's singles category of the BWF World Championships in Huelva. In an all-Indian battle, former world number one Srikanth rallied to defeat Lakshya Sen by 17-21, 21-14, 21-17 in a thriller that lasted for one hour and nine minutes. 

Sri will now clash in the gold medal match against the winner of the second semi-final which is to be played between Denmark's Anders Antonsen and Singapore's Loh Kean Yew. The 20-year-old Indian who was chasing the game at the start entered the first game interval with an 11-8 lead.
