#1 The PV Sindhu vs Carolina Marin rematch
Trending
The final match of the women’s singles badminton at Rio Olympics sent the TRPs in India sky-rocketing with a record viewership of 17 million. This particular hotly contested match, which was worthy of a final, spurred the popularity of badminton in the country.
Sadly, for all Indian fans, Carolina Marin triumphed over India’s own PV Sindhu to win the gold medal while Sindhu brought home the silver. However, all badminton fans can look forward to another high-octane fixture between the two at the upcoming PBL.
With Carolina Marin being roped in for Hyderabad Hunters and PV Sindhu representing the Chennai Smashers there is a high likelihood of the two facing each other at some stage. More than the fans, the Olympic finalists themselves are awaiting a fixture with utmost eagerness.
"The final at Rio was a tight contest. Sindhu is a good attacking player. I look forward to playing her again. I am sure it will be interesting," Marin had said earlier.
Sindhu had replied, "I am sure she will enjoy her stint in India. I would like her to come home to relish home-made biryani."
The mouth-watering fixture will be one the main reason for watching PBL this season.
