K Srikanth will be back on the court leading the Indian challenge at the $300,000 Japan Super Series, which starts with the qualifiers here tomorrow. 

Srikanth had enthralled his fans back home when he produced a gallant fight before losing narrowly to two-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time World champion Lin Dan in the quarterfinals. The 23-year-old from Guntur, seeded eighth, will now open his campaign against a qualifier at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium on Wednesday. 

P Kashyap will be starting the proceedings for India when he plays in the qualifying round. Kashyap will take on Austria's David Obernosterer in the opening round. — PTI
