‘Take a bow Srikanth’ twitterati hails Kidambi on winning Australian Open Super Series

He earlier knocked out reigning World No. 1 Son Wan Ho in the second round to advance to quarterfinals of the tournament in Sydney. That was his second victory over the South Korean in two weeks. He had earlier stunned Son Wan Ho 21-15, 14-21, 24-22 last week in the semifinals of the Indonesia Open.

Twitter exploded with joyous reactions after Srikanth’s proud victory with Indians praising the 24-year-old for his winning streak. Wishes poured in from current and former athletes of various sports. While former cricketer Virender Sehwag congratulated the youngster and told him to take a bow, HS Prannoy tweeted, “Looks like it’s getting tough for everyone to Clinch titles when Indian boys are in form!! Congrats.”

Even hockey captain lauded the efforts of Srikanth while Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel said that he was proud of the shuttler. Here are some of the tweets celebrating Srikanth’s victory:
