Currently ranked No. 12 globally, Sindhu may face An again in the second round in Jakarta.

India's women's singles roster also includes Unnati Hooda and Malvika Bansod.

In men's singles, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy will spearhead the team, with Prannoy recently achieving a significant victory over Indonesia's world No. 5 Jonatan Christie.
