On a high after his maiden World Championship bronze medal, Indian shuttler H S Prannoy soared to career-high world ranking of No 6 in the latest BWF rankings published on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old Kerala shuttler, who eliminated world Number 1 and Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen en route to his maiden World Championships bronze, rose three spots with 72437 points in his kitty.

He is also the only Indian shuttler, who has maintained a top-10 rank since December last year. In this period, he has won the Super-500 Malaysia Masters and recently finished runner-up at the Australian Open.
