PV Sindhu finally got her hands on the much-awaited gold medal in the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Sunday. The two-time Olympic medalist had won the bronze medal in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, followed by a silver medal in Gold Coast.
The only Commonwealth Games medal missing from Sindhu's cabinet was the gold, and she finally clinched the same after a hard-fought victory against Canada's Michele Li.
The Indian shutter got the better of her Canadian opponent in straight sets 21-15, 21-13, and thus she helped India overtake New Zealand and rise to fourth place in the Commonwealth Games 2022 medal tally.
After Sindhu's astonishing victory, Twitter exploded as fans and celebrities, politicians alike flooded the micro-blogging website with tweets and congratulatory messages for the 27-year-old.

It's remarkable that a player of PV Sindhu's calibre with multiple World and Olympic medals had never won a women's singles gold at Commonwealth Games. She corrects that at her 3 CWG beating Michelle Li 21-15, 21-13 in the final at Birmingham. pic.twitter.com/CeljX2c5bR — jonathan selvaraj (@jon_selvaraj) August 8, 2022
