PV Sindhu confirmed her place in the women’s single Badminton final at Rio Olympics 2016 on Thursday night after she defeated Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara. The Indian shuttler will now at least win the silver medal in the prestigious tournament.

As Sindhu became India’s first ever shuttler to reach the final of this sport in Olympics, congratulations started pouring in. But none could have been more heart-felt or vociferous than those from Amitabh Bachchan. The actor is an avid sports fan and has been encouraging the Indian contingent through his tweets and blogs.
