15-Year-Old Tanvi Sharma Hopes To Emulate PV Sindhu's Aggression In Uber Cup
Groomed by a sports-loving mother, inspired by the peerless P V Sindhu and aspiring to be Indian badminton's aggressive new kid on the block. Tanvi Sharma is nothing like an average 15-year-old. Her claim to limited fame at this point is the fact that she is the youngest member of India's women's squad for this month's Thomas and Uber Cup in Chengdu, China. "I want to become like Sindhu didi, she is my inspiration. I watch all her matches. It was great to just be around her in Malaysia, she was very friendly," gushed Tanvi in a telephonic interview with PTI, recalling her experience of observing the double Olympic-medallist during the Badminton Asia Team Championships where she was part of the squad but did not play.
