Commonwealth Games gold for India in the bustling host city of Birmingham, England come August. Nah… we will just stick our necks out and say she will be on top of the podium, flashing that ear-to-ear smile soon. Cue: Next Amul ad. No doubt, she will have a lot of ‘home’ support too. A stroll down New Street leading up to the much-photographed shiny bronze bull and you will come across a motley crew of Indians and friends from the subcontinent, most of them conversing in a monotone Brummie accent but unable to hide the fact they are yearning for that visit ‘back home’.

As the shuttle flew wide, Sindhu, in red, was left feeling the blues as Nehwal, in traditional Indian colour, pumped her fists in an overwhelming display of emotions.
