PV Sindhu ropes in Prakash Padukone as mentor

Badminton star P V Sindhu has tied up with Indian legend Prakash Padukone in her quest to win a third Olympic medal at the Paris Games next year.

Sindhu broke the news on X. 

"For those wondering and constantly asking me, the cat is finally out of the bag!!

Prakash sir is assuming the role of the mentor in my setup. I started training with him at the end of August, and it's been uphill ever since. He's more than a mentor; he's my guide, my guru, and, above all, a true friend. I wholeheartedly believe he possesses the magic to bring out the absolute best from my game. I am so grateful he reached out to me with one call when I was in Japan, and we've built on that connection exceptionally well. 

Dear sir, I AM PUMPED!! Looking forward to training with you!

Let’s get to work," wrote the double Olympic medallist.
