PV Sindhu: ‘Nothing short of a masterclass’

P V Sindhu became the new queen of badminton on Sunday after beating familiar rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a lop-sided final. After waiting for three years, wherein she suffered two heartbreaking losses in the finals, Sindhu scripted a historic win (21-7, 21-7) to become the first Indian to win badminton World Championships gold. Here are the best reaction to her faboulous win- The stupendously talented @Pvsindhu1 makes India proud again! Congratulations to her for winning the Gold at the BWF World Championships. The passion and dedication with which she’s pursued badminton is inspiring. PV Sindhu’s success will inspire generations of players. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) August 25, 2019 PV Sindhu creates history by becoming the first-ever Indian to claim gold in BWF World Badminton Championships!

Delighted after winning, Sindhu said, "Last time I lost the finals, before that also I lost finals and it is very very important to win now. I thank the crowd for supporting me day in and day out.

PV Sindhu: ‘Nothing short of a masterclass’

Two years after being robbed off the gold by Okuhara in an epic 110-minute final at Glasgow that went down as one of the greatest battles in badminton history, Sindhu finally exorcised the ghost of that heart-wrenching loss with a completely dominating win over the same opponent.
