‘Parents Are Watching Me Live After 13 Years’: Arjun-Hariharan Savour Badminton WC Opener Win
Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: For M R Arjun, Monday's opening-round victory at the BWF World Championships was about more than moving into the next round. With his parents and wife watching from the stands at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, the Indian men's doubles shuttler experienced something he had not for around 13 years, his parents watching him play a match live.
“My parents and my wife are here. My parents are watching me live probably after 13 years,” Arjun said after teaming up with Hariharan Amsakarunan to beat Ireland's Scott Guildea and Paul Reynolds 21-16, 6-4 in their opening-round contest.
For someone whose father had once taken him around the country for his junior matches, having his parents back in the stands carried a significance that went well beyond the result.
