PV Sindhu

Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu stunned World No.1 Tai Tzu Ying to keep defending champions Chennai Smashers afloat against Ahmedabad Smash Masters in the third Premier Badminton League on Saturday. Lagging 0-1, Chennai's Sindhu saw off Tai Tzu 15-11, 10-15, 15-12 in an women's singles contest to keep the Smashers alive in this contest. However, Sourabh Verma dished out a gritty game to shock World No. 24 Brice Leverdez of France 12-15, 15-14, 15-12 in Chennai's Trump match to make it 2-0 in their favour.
