    To be fair, the Azerbaijan players are not that shabby.
    They used to play for the Indonesian junior team.
    Azmy Qowimuramadhoni and Ade Resky Dwicahyo are both only 19. Azmy was the one who beat Sen, but probably the bigger surprise was Ade beating Wei Nan in Malaysia two weeks ago.

    Speaking of 16 year olds, Kunlavut Vitidsarn and Kodai Naraoka are the two who have arguably done better than Sen this year. The former was virtually unbeatable in the Junior Circuit this season, until Naraoka beat him in this year NZL open. Will be an exciting WJC.

    All the other two you are mentioning are elders to Sen. Kunlavut turns 17 on 11th May 2018. And also Kodai Naroka turns 17 on june while Sen turns 17 on August 2018.

    The so called Azerbaijan players are 19 years old and they are actually indonesian players, how come they are true Azerbaijan players . Good for them that they have beaten even Wei Nan.

    It is not fair to compare these three as Kunlavut played 8 tournaments this year whereas the other two played only 2. We can't judge by seeing just 2 tournaments.

    Within the context, a difference of a three months is insignificant.

    oh and there are many comments on youtube videos regarding laksya sen saying that he cheats his age, similar to what many INA players did a few generations ago

    I don't think it true. After all, IND citizens are always tall and lanky. With the correct amount of weight training, it is possible
    to look older than normal.

    After doing a little CSI on my own.

    If I am not wrong, Chirag Sen is Lakysha Sen elder brother. The father full name is now mostly hidden using initial of D K Sen instead. If you search harder you will find his name as Dhirendra Kumar Sen.
