Sindhu first Indian to win historic World C’ships gold
Pusarla Sindhu scripted history on Sunday, becoming the first Indian to win a Badminton World Championships gold, in Basel, Switzerland.
In a one-sided final, the Indian ace, who won silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics, defeated Nozomi Okuhara of Japan 21-7, 21-7 in 38 minutes.
“Last time, I lost in the final; before that also I lost in the final, so it is a very important win for me. I want to thank the crowd for supporting me. I won it for my country and I am very proud being an Indian,” Sindhu said after the match.
