PV Sindhu is getting best wishes from all corners of India. There is no one who isn’t wishing that she gets gold in today’s match. From Amitabh Bachchan, Virat Kohli to the ‘aam aadmi’ all have wished her the best. Next in line is ‘God of cricket’ himself. Sachin Tendulkar on Friday told ANI that he is very excited for PV Sindhu’s match today and he hopes that she wins. “I am extremely excited for today’s match, let us hope we get a good win.” Without a doubt, the match will 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.
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 her 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. While Virat Kohli has released a video wishing the badminton player, others took a jibe at Shobha De for calling her a “silver princess.”
