Assured of a podium finish, all eyes are on PV Sindhu as she prepares for her Olympic final against world number one Carolina Marin of Spain in the Women’s singles badminton event.
Now a world-class player, these childhood pictures of Sindhu tell a different story. Nothing like the fiery girl we see on the court, it seems like Sindhu was a shy, timid girl back in the day.
Having come a long way from the eight-year old Sindhu who started playing badminton, we do hope that after Sakshi Malik’s bronze, Sindhu manages to bring home that gold reinstating the ‘girl-power’ factor!
