Wearing her Rio Olympics silver medal around her neck, the 21-year-old along with Gopichand and her parents came to GMC Balayogi Stadium on an open-top double-decker bus.

Deputy CM Mohammad Mahmood Ali may not have so much faith in Gopichand, though. “We have plans to provide her a better coach,” he told a news channel.
