Last time, he was not ready to meet Im the Dim but only agreed after intense lobbying. He trashed the Pakistani press. Understood that they were planted to ask specifi...

Imho, the credit should go all to PV Sindhu herself.
Its very little to do with the Korean coach or Gopichand.
She wasnt playing well against TTY. However, she worked hard and ground out that victory. That was very important.
After that match, she was high on confidence and would have beaten anyone.

KL Rahul keeps getting bowled in England. He must play at 4.
Too late to make any changes now.
