Indian badminton has completely transformed, thanks to some tremendous performances from the likes of Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth in the last few years. From causing an occasional upset, the Indian shuttlers are now being perceived as title favourites and that is a monumental achievement. Sindhu, of course, is quite overwhelmed with the rising expectations and strong support she garners every time she steps on court.
