Fuzhou (China), Nov 16: Newly crowned China Open champion Kidambi Srikanth Sunday "gifted" his Super Series Premier title to India's chief national badminton coach Pullela Gopichand on his 41st birthday.
Sunday turned out to be a watershed moment in Indian badminton's history as for the first time two titles are coming home from a Super Series event. While Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal clinched the women's singles crown beating Japan's Akane Yamaguchi, Srikanth downed five-time World Champion Lin Dan to clinch the men's title.
