Paris: Indian shuttlers are physically much more stronger now than their competitors and the ability to play longer matches gives them the edge over others, believes Kidambi Srikanth, who reached his fifth final this season. Srikanth will face Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto in the final for his fourth title of the year. “It is the kind of mindset we have these days, we are not really scared of longer matches and that gives us the edge over any players,” Srikanth said when asked about the contribution of Mulyo. “If you play against the Chinese players, you have to be ready to play longer matches. “Playing semi-finals is great, but I am a bit upset though as I couldn’t make it to the final.
