India cricketer Robin Uthappa hailed squash ace Dipika Pallikal for winning the bronze medal in the Asian Games women's singles after she lost to defending champion Nicol David 7-11, 9-11 and 6-11 in the semis. This was Pallikal's third medal at the Asiad.

In 2014, she won a silver in women's team squash event and a bronze in women's singles. Yesterday, Uthappa tweeted: "Congratulations on the bronze @DipikaPallikal ..all ur hardwork has paid off." To which, Dipika replied: "Thank you Robs.. Hope all's well with you. Maybe some dancing on top of the table when we all catch up next time."
