Kidambi Srikanth¡¯s Reply To Sachin Tendulkar¡¯s Congratulatory Message Shows His Hunger To Represent India
Srikanth has now won two Super Series tournaments on the trot
He first won the Indonesia Open, then beat World No. 1 Son Wan Ho twice and then pipped the reigning Olympic champion Chen Long to clinch the Australia Open Super Series. Kidambi Srikanth has now attained the status of a sought-after badminton player around the world. So much so that Sachin Tendulkar went ahead and sent a congratulatory note to the champion.
Heartiest congratulations to @srikidambi on winning 2nd successive superseries title. Proud of you champion! #AustralianSS

But what stands out is Srikanth's reply to the Master Blaster. The reply proves Srikanth's hunger to represent India and bring more glory for the country.
Thank you sir. Your tweet is like a billion wishes for me. Will keep giving my best for the country.

The last Indian to win the Australian Open Super Series was Saina Nehwal, who won it in 2016. Srikanth's rise to the top has been incredible. After all, he's beaten the best in the world.
He also beat his idol Lin Dan in 2014, which actually proved to be a life-altering moment.
