Former World No. 1 shuttler Prakash Padukone believes PV Sindhu’s next target should be the prestigious All England Championships. India’s only double Olympic medal-winning shuttler Sindhu, 26, (she won silver at Rio 2016 and bronze at Tokyo 2020) is also the reigning world champion, having won gold at the 2019 Basel World Championships.
However, the All England title has somehow eluded her, and Padukone, 66—the first Indian to win the All England Championships in 1980—is confident she can emerge victorious at the next edition (March 16-20, 2022) by planning her schedule well in the build-up to the tournament.
