India's star shuttler PV Sindhu on Saturday announced that she has teamed up with former badminton player Prakash Padukone ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Currently ranked World No.11 Sindhu took to x, formerly Twitter to announce that Prakash has assumed the role of mentor as she is seeking to bring the best out of her ahead of the major tournaments that lie ahead of the stat shuttler. "For those wondering and constantly asking me, the cat is finally out of the bag!! Prakash sir is assuming the role of the mentor in my setup. I started training with him at the end of August, and it's been uphill ever since. He's more than a mentor; he's my guide, my guru, and, above all, a true friend. I wholeheartedly believe he possesses the magic to bring out the absolute best from my game. I am so grateful he reached out to me with one call when I was in Japan, and we've built on that connection exceptionally well. Dear sir, I AM PUMPED!! Looking forward to training with you! Let's get to work," Sindhu wrote on X.
