Saina Nehwal remained static at second position while Kidambi Srikanth dropped a place to be at ninth spot in the world badminton rankings released on Thursday.

Owing to a poor outing at the World Superseries Finals in Dubai last week, where he lost all the group stage matches, Srikanth lost a place in the men's singles rankings.

Parupalli Kashyap also slipped a spot to be at 15th, while H S Prannoy maintained his 20th spot.

Ajay Jayaram moved up a place to be 22nd in the ranking table, which continued to be headed by China's Chen Long.

Like Saina, PV Sindhu also remained static in women's singles, staying at No 12.

In women's doubles, Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa maintained their No 13 position.

Indian men's doubles pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy lost a spot to be at 20th.
