A Twitter user takes a dig at Saina Nehwal for her Rio ouster and compares her to compatriot PV Sindhu who entered the final and is now gunning for gold. Here's what Saina had to say about it
Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu
Saina Nehwal's brilliant reply after hater praises PV Sindhu India's number one female shuttler Saina Nehwal showed the mettle she is made of when an online hater compared her to compatriot PV Sindhu at the ongoing Rio 2016.
It all began when this particular Twitter user told Saina Nehwal to pack her bags as India have found another who can defeat the top shuttlers - clearly meaning PV Sindhu.

Saina's reply was a brilliant one in deed when she stated that Sindhu and India were doing well.
The user later on replied by apologising to the star shuttler for his remarks and said he still 'loved' her and is a fan.
She, in turn, showed her class with a kind reply telling him that it was not a problem and wished him the best.
Earlier this week, Saina Nehwal had suffered a huge upset against World No.61 Marija Ulitina of Ukraine in her second match of Group G, and later on her injury was supposed to be one of the main reasons for the same.

On the other hand, PV Sindhu has managed to be India's best performer so far at Rio 2016, as she has assured herself of a silver medal after her heroic win over Nozomi Okuhara of Japan 21-19, 21-10.
