Narendra Modi is a popular leader and has a nose for news and it is evident that stays up to date with all the current happenings.
Before she headed to the feat, Ajay Jayaram was the first Indian to reach the final of Korea Open in 2015 but he came back with a silver medal.
This win from Sindhu is bound to inspire youngsters to take to the game. Sindhu’s win will also help her better her career rank which is 4th currently.
