PV Sindhu finally landed her much-deserved Commonwealth Games gold medal on Monday (August 8), after beating Canada's Michelle Li, in the women's singles badminton final.
It has been a long time coming for PV Sindhu, she won the bronze medal in Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014, followed by a silver in Gold Coast, and she completed her medal haul by clinching gold in Birmingham 2022.
The two-time Olympic medalist was utterly dominant in the second set against her Canadian opponent, and even though the first set was much more balanced, Sindhu had too much gas in the tank as she won in straight games 21-15, 21-13.

A grand show from @Pvsindhu1 to defeat M. Li in straight games to give the first GOLD in at #CommonwealthGames2022.

The Indian shuttler continued her rich vein of form in 2022, having won three titles earlier this year, namely Syed Modi International, the Swiss Open and the Singapore Open.
India meanwhile surpassed New Zealand to move to fourth place on the Commonwealth Games 2022 medals tally courtesy of Sindhu's medal, as it was India's 19th gold medal in Birmingham.

New Zealand also have 19 gold medals to show, but they have won fewer silver medals than India. Not just this, India will have the chance to further cement its place in the fourth spot, with Lakshya Sen, the Indian badminton doubles pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwik Rankireddy, Achanta Sharath Kamal, and the Men's Indian hockey team all in action later in the day.
