    BWF Singapore Open: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and Indian batting stalwart Virat Kohli applauded Indian badminton veteran Saina Nehwal for a legendary career that redefined Indian badminton by putting it on the global map.

    The 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist, who last played over two years and seven months ago at the BWF Singapore Open in 2023, had not officially announced her retirement until Monday, when, during a podcast, the former world No. 1 confirmed her retirement, saying she had left the court on her own terms and "there was no need to announce it" officially.

    "Wishing you a happy retirement, @NSaina. Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to Indian badminton. Wishing you peace, happiness, and the very best in this next phase of life," Sindhu posted on X.
