India badminton ace HS Prannoy has been in excellent form recently and was a vital cog in leading India to their first-ever Thomas Cup title in May. Prannoy has competed in 13 events on the BWF World Tour this season and is currently at the top of the ranking charts with 58,090 points.

Prannoy who hails from Kerala currently trains at the renowned Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad. In a recent video posted by the Premier Badminton League, Prannoy was seen on the court playing against a little girl, who was surprisingly pretty good for her age. The two had a short rally where the kid efficiently returned the shots over the net before finally mistiming one. Prannoy kept motivating the little girl and kept her in good spirits.

The PBL put the icing on the cake by penning a heart-warming caption for the cute video. “Beast vs Little Warrior Who do you think won this cutest encounter?" PBL’s caption read.

The Swashbuckling Badminton player was on a break from the court as he got married to his long-time partner Swetha Rachel Thomas in September.
