“I wouldn’t call it inconsistency. On the contrary, I think we were quite consistent. To call the world No. 3 pair inconsistent, I think everybody beyond No. 1 should stop playing badminton,”
Chirag nailed it 😅

🚨 Former and current national record holders together raise India’s bar in high jump!
On the right is Sahana Kumari, who cleared 1.92m in 2012 — a mark that stood as India’s women’s high jump national record for 14 years.
Yesterday, Pooja, who was just 5 years old when Sahana set that record, cleared 1.93m to become India’s new national record holder.
What makes the story even more special?
Sahana was present in Hong Kong as part of the Indian coaching staff, helping guide Pooja through her historic competition.
Together, they played a role in breaking a 14-year-old national record.
📸 The picture says it all. The former record holder standing proudly beside the new one, with Sahana looking every bit as happy as Pooja.
This is what sport is all about — one generation inspiring the next.
