Currently, the Indian shuttler is competing in the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022, at Birmingham. The Indian badminton Mixed Team unit comprising Sindhu, Srikanth Kidambi, Lakshay Sen and Chirag Shetty and Satwik Sairaj Rankireddy assured themselves of atleast silver medal on Monday after storming into the finals with a 3-0 sweep of Singapore in the semi-finals.
The doubles duo of Chirag and Satwik began the rout, with Sindhu making it 2-0 before Lakshay Sen swapped world champion Loh Kean Yew in straight games.
Sindhu, along with the men’s hockey team captain Manpreet Singh also led the Indian contingent as the flagbearers in the Commonwealth Games 2022 opening ceremony that was held in Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on July 28.
