\u201cEvery time I\u2019ve needed guidance, you\u2019ve always been there with the right advice and the right words. There is no better example of what a true senior in Indian sport should be: generous, grounded, inspiring, and always willing to lift others. \u201cNever back down, PV.\u201d Advice taken. Keep being the absolute force of a human being that you are. Indian sport is better because of people like you,\u201d Sindhu wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sindhu has been gradually regaining momentum after a challenging year marked by injuries. The former world champion demonstrated promising form in the latter part of the season, showcasing solid performances on the international stage.
