Kuala Lumpur: India's Kidambi Srikanth and Parupalli Kashyap dropped a place each to be ninth and 15th, respectively, in the world badminton rankings released on Thursday.

Srikanth performed poorly at the World Superseries Finals in Dubai last week, losing all the group stage games, while 2014 Commonwealth Games (CWG) champion Kashyap dropped as South Korea's Lee Hyun Il jumped three places to be 12th after his title win at the K&D Graphics Grand Prix in California.
