Dechapol Puavaranukroh

Dechapol Puavaranukroh (Thai: เดชาพล พัววรานุเคราะห์; born 20 May 1997) is a Thai badminton player.[2] He was a gold medalist at the 2014 BWF World Junior Championships in the boys' doubles event with his partner Kittinupong Kedren.[3] Puavaranukroh claimed doubles titles at the 2017 SEA Games by winning the gold medal in the men's doubles with Kedren and in the mixed doubles with Sapsiree Taerattanachai.[4] Together with Taerattanachai, he won the silver and gold medals at the BWF World Championships in 2019[5] and 2021 respectively, became the first Thai pair who won the world title.[6][7] The duo made a clean sweep of all three 2020 Asian leg titles in Thailand[8][9] and all 2021 Bali leg titles, thus climbing to world number 1 in the BWF ranking.[10] Puavaranukroh and Taerattanachai made history as the first ever Thai players to win a title in the year-end Finals tournaments[11] and rank first in the world ranking.[1]
