Despite coming second in the mixed doubles, she is happy with her performance as she didn`t get time to train with Akshan. Talking about her performance in Nanded, Simran, who was a part of the PV-Sindhu led Uber Cup squad, told www.mid-day.com: "In the mixed doubles, we could have won a gold. But we played against top seeds Pratik Ranade and Akshaya Warang, who train together at the national camp. Akshan and I haven`t trained together, but still stretched the top seed pair. I consider that as an achievement."
