Thomas and Uber Cup Finals: 5 takeaways for India

Kidambi Srikanth was sorely missed by the Indian contingent

2.PV Sindhu seems to be on the right track, but needs to close games

Sindhu looked good for most parts of the tournament

While all eyes were on Saina Nehwal to lead India in its Uber Cup campaign, PV Sindhu emerged out someone who seems to have worked on her flaws and come back much more fluid with regards to movements both near and far away from the net.

However, a vulnerability in her play was seen in the semifinal when at 18-8 up in the second game, she let go of 15 of the next 18 points to lose the game 23- 21 and along with it the match as well. Its an area that she needs to work on- the ability to close out games.

The 20-year-old has been a bit inconsistent this year, following her win at the Malaysian Grand Prix Gold and will hope to get a good string of wins under belt ahead of the Rio Olympics in August.
