All eyes are set on P V Sindhu’s final match at the Rio Olympics today. Without a doubt, it is going to be a nail-bitter, as she is the first Indian woman to enter an Olympic Badminton final after defeating 6th-ranked Nozomi Okuhara 2-0, thereby assuring India of another medal.

While Twitter is abuzz with wishes from the likes of Amitabh Bachchan to Virat Kohli, locals in Delhi have organized a puja ahead of her match against Carolina Marin. On the other hand, Sports Minister Vijay Goel on Friday tweeted that the Ministry has installed a giant screen at the Central Park, Connaught Place, where the match will be broadcasted at 7pm today.

In order to pray for her victory, prayers and ritulas are being performed in different parts of the country today. While Virat Kohli has released a video wishing the badminton player, others took a jibe at Shobha De for calling her a “silver princess.”

The 21-year-old daughter of Vijaya and P V Ramana — both former volleyball players — has assured India a top-two podium. Her final clash is with Spaniard Carolina Marin, the world’s most dominant player over the last two years, though Sindhu has been in such rampaging form that Indians across the world can stop all that they are doing at 7pm IST.

During the final as Sindhu takes on two time defending world champion Carolina Marin, a large crowd is expected to horde near the screen, all work will come to a standstill as hundreds of eyes are expected to be glued to the large screen; fans holding their breath, cheering with each smash, each back-flip generating squeals and each surprising drop shot instigating groans as the lanky 21-year-old will play the first final in her maiden Olympic journey.

So, with the wishes of her compatriots powering her on, PV Sindhu will take on Carolina Marin today and look to give the country what it wants. We are with you Sindhu, you have already made us proud, GO FOR GOLD TODAY!
