In 2017, the duo had played out one final for ages as after pushing each other to the limits, Nozomi Okuhara had come out triumphant against the Indian. In what can be called a sweet reciprocation of sorts, the lanky Hyderabadi lass exacted the revenge with a kind of performance that could only be termed riotous. Dominating the match from the word go, Sindhu won the points for fun and never did seem out of sorts. By eventually closing it on with 21-7, 21-7, Sindhu ended her long search for a gold medal and became the first Indian shuttler to win a Gold at the BWF World Championships.

PV SINDHU what a player - what a champion - world champion - watched you in so many finals - to have the courage and the belief to come back each and every time and to continue working hard is the hallmark of a true legend congratulations to @Pvsindhu1 and to the great Gopichand

Those who have followed her more diligently may differ, but this is the best I've seen Sindhu play ever. The use of court is simply brilliant.

Amma: Sindhu is doing something so good that Kohli should have learnt by now.



Me: And what's that?



Amma: Well left.
