Sindhu on how conversations with Kohli helped her get through tough times

PV Sindhu highlighted the importance of conversations with athletes from different sports during challenging times. She specifically mentioned her interactions with Indian cricket star Virat Kohli and former Olympic and World champion Neeraj Chopra. For Sindhu, speaking with Kohli at one of her lowest points was a game-changer. Despite his positive response within minutes, their meeting was kept private, but the advice Kohli imparted has stayed with her. "He didn't say much, but every word stayed with Datta and me," Sindhu recalled.

Additionally, Sindhu praised Chopra's insights on handling success and setbacks. She emphasized that while each sport and individual is unique, the dedication they put in and the country's pride they bring is inspiring to many athletes. Sindhu's recent world no. 6 ranking is a testament to her hard work and the inspiration she draws from her conversations with fellow athletes.
