Hindustan Times  

Badminton star Lakshya Sen won India's 20th gold medal by beating Malaysia's Tze Yong in the men's singles final at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. The Malaysian played at a high level throughout the event and that showed in his twin victories over Kidambi Srikanth as well but even when he took the first game against the young Indian in the final, Sen didn't seem worried. If anything, they would ensure he came back fit from a break but that was it.” But now when you watch Sen play you notice he has become a player who doesn't get intimidated even by the best in the world. We want them to move on when they hit a wall.” It is an approach that has worked for Sen. “There have been plenty who have backed me from a young age,” said Sen. “I have been really blessed to have the right kind of support system at the right time during my career throughout the last 10 years.
