BWF profile

Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo (born 2 August 1995) is an Indonesian former badminton player who was ranked world number 1 in the men's doubles by the Badminton World Federation. Considered as one of the best players of his generation, he won the men's doubles titles at the All England Open in 2017 and 2018; the World Superseries Finals in 2017; and the Asian Games in 2018. He was also featured in the Indonesia winning team at the SEA Games in 2015; the Asia Team Championships in 2018 and 2020; and the Thomas Cup in 2020. Together with his then partner Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, they were awarded the BWF Best Male Players of the Year for two consecutive years after collecting seven Superseries titles in 2017 and eight World Tour titles in 2018.

Sukamuljo and Gideon are often referred to as "the Minions" because of their below average height as well as their fast and agile playing style, jumping and bouncing just like the Minions in the film Despicable Me.
