Mumbai: Who after PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal? This is a question that continues to pop up time and again even when two Stalwarts keep the Indian flag high.
No one was better than Prakash Padukone to answer the request as he did on Tuesday while inaugurating the coaching facility and playing in NSCI on Tuesday.
“The standard we have, I think we will still be happy to have Saina and Sindhu is not there.
Because of their physical abilities, they have achieved something unimaginable.
It is not easy to match with Indian girls because they are generally not blessed with High and strength, “said Padukone …
English champions 1980, who planned to come up with ‘central advantages’ at the club in the near future, has unconventional suggestions to find the next big star.
“I might choose someone who is very strong and not technically very healthy because today’s game is more physically than technical,” he said.
Padukone also felt that players are currently more interested in maintaining their rank rather than winning the tournament and that’s what affects their games.
“The ranking is important but today’s players are too worried about them than winning.
Twenty years down no one will remember what your rank but they will definitely remember if you won the All England medal, World Championship,” he said.
When asked about the opportunity for the Lakshya Sen in Denmark Open which started today, Padukone said that winning Denmark Open would be difficult for him.
“He did it well so far and was very talented, but I didn’t expect him to do well in Denmark because it would be difficult for him.
He was in the top 20 but it wasn’t enough.
Sen must consider this as a learning experience and give one or two years To sharpen his skills and not feel satisfied, “Padukone said.
