Unnati Hooda, the 18-year-old World No. 27 from India, takes on Japan’s Tomoka Miyazaki in the Asia Championships 2026 Round of 16. The young badminton player from Haryana has been a storm to be reckoned with in her ongoing campaign at the Badminton Asia Championship. With PV Sindhu being knocked out of the competition after her defeat against Z.Y. Wang in the round of 16 match, Unnati remains the sole Indian challenge in the women’s category. Currently ranked World No. 27 – as of late March 2026, Hooda stands out with a bold approach and sharp shots, keeping control of the game. She faces off against Tomoka Miyazaki at the 2026 Badminton Asia Championships – a clash of young stars where both show real promise for the future.
