MUMBAI: The Indian Badminton League's (IBL) biggest draw Lee Chong Wei is here. And much to the joy of his team, Mumbai Masters, the World No. 1 is raring to go out on the court and display his craft.
The Malaysian, who missed out on the early part of the IBL due to injuries, was all smiles after his first training session at the Sardar Vallabhbhai stadium on Monday.

The 30-year-old also brushed aside fears of his fitness saying, "I had a nice rest for three days and feel much better. I am ready for the IBL."
Wei shot down queries of his rivalry with China's Lin Dan and the loss to his great rival in yet another major final. "Can we stick to the IBL please," he quipped.
The arrival of Wei, bought for a whopping $135,000, is a shot in the arm for the Masters and he is no doubt keen to draw first blood. Wei also has the experience of playing in a similar league in China.
"I have played in China and I have played in India... I think India is better. China (League) is a long one played over six months, but this Indian league is only for three weeks," the Malaysian said.
