Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, a keen badminton player too, admitted that he was a little disappointed the way India’s promising shuttler Lakshya Sen lost his Paris Olympics semi-final to Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen and the bronze medal match to Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia.
“I was a bit disappointed because on both days, Lakshya had taken the lead but could not sustain it. We need to look at whether it’s more of a mental issue. Even Prakash [Padukone] said he did not know why Lakshya lost.
