Earlier, Sindhu had won a silver medal in the last Olympic Games (Rio Olympics). PV Sindhu defeated He Bingjiao of China 21-13 in the first game on Sunday in the bronze medal bout.

In the middle of the second game, Sindhu was leading 10-8. He Bingjiao followed Sindhu even after this. When the score increased to 14-11, it seemed that Sindhu would now go ahead with the speed.
