Sindhu’s birthday::
Today, PV Sindhu—the bright star of Indian women’s badminton—celebrates her 28th birthday. Pusarla Venkata, a sports legend who was born in 1995, has won several championships and, as a result, has shot to the top of the international rankings in recent years. The Hyderabadi girl made history by being the first Indian woman to win both a gold and a silver medal at the BWF World Championships.
She entered the top 20 BWF global rankings list when she was 17 years old, and ever then, she has been in the top 10. However, in the most current BWF World rankings for women’s singles, her position fell to 15.
The Padma Bhushan recipient was also ranked by Forbes Magazine as the highest-paid female Indian athlete.
She received the Padma Shri award, one of India’s highest civilian honours, at the age of 20, making history as the nation’s youngest recipient of the award.
