History Created By Srikanth.Only Lin Dan and Lei Chong Wei have managed to win 4 Super Series Title in a year.There are still two more Super Series Events left,if he manages to win either one of them,then he"ll be first ever to win 5 Super Series Events in a year.So far,he has equaled Lin Dan and Lei Chong Wei.Great achievement for him and us as Indians.
It is sad to see that... even this historic performance is not getting the recognition it deserves among the indian people other than sports fanatics...
I guess for our top sports persons, olympics is the only place for stardom
@ Shankar .. pretty much true ... Even after winning 4 super series titles, most of my friends doesn't know who is Srikanth... even for people from A.P/Telangana, Badminton is all about Sindhu & Saina
Jwala Gutta was also famous. People give more credence to medals. Even in Asian Games and Commonwealth games. Hopefully Srikanth will win Gold in 2018 Asian games and commonwealth.. Few people recognise Pankaj Adwani despite so many world championship titles. Pankaj won 2 gold in Asian games though.
