India`s teen shuttler Malvika Bansod believes in striking the right balance between studies and professional sport. 

Bansod, 19, who recently won the RSL Lithuanian International badminton tournament in Kaunas,  Lithuania, attributed technology to her success on both fronts. 
Bansod, a first-year BE (Computer Science) student at SRM University in Chennai, said: "It`s very easy for me to just focus on the game and education. And technology...well, I somehow get the best of both and enjoy it a lot. My college has given me permission to go there only to give my exams and the rest, I do online. Basically, I have always felt that badminton and technology, if applied together, can yield wonderful results. It felt good to get 92.5 per cent in my Class 12 board exams [in 2020] while I was playing around 15 tournaments in that particular year," Bansod, told www.mid-day.com.
