‘PV Sindhu Is a Legend’: Sachin, Sehwag Celebrate Korea Open Win

Here’s a look at how Twitterati reacted to PV Sindhu’s Korea Open Super Series victory.

India’s star shuttler PV Sindhu defeated reigning world champion Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in the women's singles final of the Korea Open Super Series in Seoul on 17 September.

The Rio Olympics silver medallist won the match 22-20, 11-21, 21-18 in an hour and 22 minutes at the SK Handball Stadium. Okuhara had defeated Sindhu in the World Championships final in Glasgow last month.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sachin Tendulkar celebrated Sindhu’s win on Twitter, as did a few other celebrities.
