PV Sindhu Credits Virat Kohli's Advice for Japan Open Victory ComebackPreviousNext

Indian badminton star PV Sindhu credited cricket player Virat Kohli's advice for helping her overcome a challenging phase marked by injury and poor results. After a toe ligament injury sidelined her for three months, Sindhu and her husband revamped her training with a focus on sports science and rediscovering the joy of competing, inspired by Kohli's words. This approach contributed to her winning the Japan Open Super 750, ending a six-year title drought and boosting her confidence ahead of a major upcoming tournament in India.
