#6 PV Sindhu (Badminton)

PV Sindhu, the ace Indian shuttler had a mixed kind of year as far her on ground performance is concerned. She had been battling with herself throughout the year. No athlete in the world likes losing the finals. Sindhu has lost 7 in the last 15 months.

But all's well that ends well, and she capped off the season on high with clinching the gold medal at the BWF World Tour Finals. Fortunately, she ended the drought of finishing second in the finals.

Despite her finals' vowes, neglecting her contribution to the Indian Badminton wouldn't go down well with her admirers. Counting on her best performances of the season the World Tour Finals gold medal will be placed at the top of it, then silver at CWG'18 and one more silver medal at the Asian Games 2018. Her list of achievements doesn't end here, but she would less likely to forget these major events.

Off the field, Olympic silver medalist Sindhu is a 7th highest paid female athlete in the world. Her earnings are round about Rs. 60 crores a year.
