“Needless to say I was hurt not being able to defend my title and I missed another opportunity to represent the nation. I am very disappointed to miss the opportunity to be Team India’s flag bearer at the opening ceremony, an honor to be expected in a few days,” Chopra wrote in a social media post.

On another occasion, PV Sindhu is in good shape after winning the Singapore Open two weeks ago.

“I’ve always had great confidence in myself. It was only a matter of time before I could find the winning touch again. I loved doing it at the Singapore Open recently,” Sindhu said after the workout.

“Yes, a win like that (Singapore Open) is important, especially before a big event like the CWG. (It) means a lot to me, a big confidence booster,” said Sindhu, 27.

On waiting for his title, Sindhu said, “So it’s just a matter of time. Sometimes you have to understand that it’s not your day. Have hope and belief that you can come back stronger.”

In light of her recent titles and the fact that her compatriot Saina Nehwal missed the bus to Birmingham, Sindhu’s gold medal hopes are rising.

“Yeah hopefully chasing CWG gold. I’ll do my best,” he added with a big smile
