Badminton In India : A New Era Is About To Begin !

Metamorphosis

Keeping that aside, Sports is witnessing divergent metamorphosis. Alterations and modifications is projected in full throttle. A few rules are improvised to suit the spectators’ taste and very helpful to commercialize the sport.

For example – Cricket began with test matches (unlimited overs-2 innings per team -5 days) then ODIs (50 overs each team – 1 day/night) and now T20 (20 overs – 4 hours). These minor yet trendsetting changes have been successful and effective in gaining audience and popularizing the sport in the nation; not that Cricket needed it!

Such an experiment is to be implemented in PBL. This is the first season with slight modification to change the odds. Badminton usually has two sets. If it ends in a tie-breaker; third set is played. Each set, technically comprises of 21 points each. (Badminton In India)

Only for the league, each set will be of 11 points each. This will consume less time and provide an interesting twist to the players and the sport. Stakes have changed and vulnerability has increased.
