Carolina Marin, Pankaj Advani applaud PV Sindhu for winning gold at BWF World C'ships

PV SIndhu had four medals at the World C'ships as she bagged bronze in the 2013 and 2014 while in 2017 and 2018 she claimed silver medals.

Sindhu feels she would have to give her 100 per cent there in order to win the women's singles title.

Saina Nehwal claimed her first BWF title in two years after Carolina Marin limped out of the Indonesia Masters final due to a leg injury.

The Spaniard presented Nehwal with no chance whatsoever to make a comeback.

The 23-year-old ranked the side high. “We are a strong team and are definitely aiming to claim the crown once again,” she said.

The fourth season of PBL will begin its journey from Mumbai on 22nd December.

The Spaniard defeated Sindhu 21-19, 21-10 to win the final as the Indian had to settle for silver for a second year in running.

While Sindhu will be out to become the first Indian to win the World Championships, Marin will be keen to clinch her third worlds title.

The Hyderabadi shuttler sealed her second successive World Championships final spot.
