India Open 2019 Campaign was started with a bang as the former world number one Kidambi Srikanth won his first-round matches in a tight contest against Wong Wing Ki Vincent of Hong Kong by 21-16, 18-21, 21-19 in the 56-minute affair.
The Padma Shree awardee who won a bar of gold in the mixed team event, and a silver in the singles event at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, achieved World No. 1 ranking for a week in 2018.
This man that we know of as a badass badminton player is also a true gentleman in its purest form and here we are talking about his suit-fetish that is evident from his Instagram profile.
In a world full of trends, he remains to be a classic gentleman with his sharp suits. What is even more commendable is that being a man of a lean built, he manages to look sharp and crisp in all his suit avatars.
Looks like he took the advice from Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM ) where he says – ”Suit Up! Because it is going to be legendary”, quite seriously.
Sure. We agree!
Have a look at this gallery to check out this classy man’s suit collection:
Kidambi opted for this navy blue suit and pink tie for the reception of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. He was styled by celebrity stylist Bornali Caldeira.

Last year, he was on the cover page of Just Urbane magazine. This gray tuxedo is from Troy Costa designer label. He definitely managed to sizzle on the cover page.

Kidambi received the Best Dressed Player award at the BWF Gala dinner in 2017. And it was well-deserved, for sure. He is slaying it in this ‘bandh-gala suit’ by Raghvendra Rathore. Royalty at its best.

This semi-formal suit from The Maroon Suit is suiting Kidambi very well. The grey-pink combination makes for a very good pair for a suit. His spiked hairstyle is simply cherry on the top.
