President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday congratulated PV Sindhu on becoming the first Indian to win a gold in badminton World Championships, saying it was a proud moment for the country.
Sindhu hammered Japan's Nozomi Okuhara 21-7 21-7 in a one-sided summit clash to win her maiden World Championships title in her third straight final.
"Congratulations @Pvsindhu1 for winning the BWF World Championship. This is a proud moment for the entire country. Your magic on the court, hardwork and perseverance enthralls and inspires millions," the President tweeted.
"Best wishes World Champion for all your future battles," he wrote.
