PV Sindhu defeated Nozomi Okuhara and created history by winning India's first-ever gold at BWF World Championships. The Olympics silver medalist had a great tournament as she got better off some of the greatest shuttlers like Tai Tzu Ying and Chen Yu Fei. Indian fans on Twitter reacted on the same.

PV Sindhu is all set to take on Nozomi Okuhara in the final of the ongoing BWF World Championships in Basel, Switzerland. The Indian has entered her third consecutive final and will be looking forward to claiming the yellow metal in the all-important match of the year for Sindhu on Sunday.

The Indian para-badminton contingent saw Prem Kumar Ale scripting an epic comeback against top seed Thomas Wandschneider in the pre-quarterfinal. In other matches, the likes of Sukant Kadam, Krishna Nagar, Parul Parmer, Manasi Joshi, Raj Kumar, and Rakesh Pandey all made it to the next round.

B Sai Praneeth has been a real surprise for the Indian contingent at the BWF World Championships and he would be willing to continue his winning streak against World No.1 Kento Momota in the semi-final. While Praneeth hasn’t dropped a game in his last four, beating Momota would be difficult.
