Saina Nehwal is currently scheduled to participate in the Denmark Open 2019 badminton tournament and was en route to Denmark for the same. Accompanying her was her husband and shuttler Parupalli Kashyap and Kidambi Srikanth.
Saina Nehwal and Co were apparently waiting for their transport bus to drop them for their training schedule. Apparently, Sania Mirza and her colleagues waited for 40 minutes with no sign of the bus. Saina Nehwal took to photo-sharing site Instagram and shared a photo and captioned it, "No transport, no contact. Training at 5pm. Waiting for the bus for the last 40 mins. It's 5pm already. The minimum they can do is provide contact number to call. #denmarkopen2019."
