Pattnaik said he had created a 5 ft high sand sculpture on Saturday to congratulate Sindhu and also thank her coach Gopichand. He used about 4 tons of sand for the work. "I congratulate PV Sindhu through my sand art; she is the pride of India. I would also like to thank Guru GopiChand, the real hero behind Sindhu's success," he said.
