Ningbo Olympic Sports Centre: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu has heaped rich praise on rising Indian shuttler Ayush Shetty, calling him a generational talent after the youngster stormed into the final of the Badminton Asia Championships with a stunning victory over World No. 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn.

Ayush pulled off a sensational comeback win against the Paris 2024 silver medallist, defeating him 10-21, 21-19, 21-17 in a gripping men’s singles semifinal that lasted one hour and 15 minutes at the Ningbo Olympic Sports Centre on Saturday.

“I have consistently maintained that he is a generational talent. In terms of pure natural ability, he stands right up there with the very best young players I have come across. There is a prodigious level of talent in him, and it is something you immediately recognise when you see him on court,” Sindhu wrote in a post on X.
