India made a stunning start in badminton on Day 5 at Olympics 2021. Rio Silver Medalist P.V. Sindhu successfully qualified from the group stage and will now move to the knockout phase of the event. She won her game in two straight sets against Yi Ngan Cheung from Hong Kong.

The first set was relatively easy as she dominated her opponent there, ending the first set with a 21-9 win. Yi-Ngan showed resilience in the second but came up short against the former world champion, who managed a 21-16 win in the second set. The win set her up for a pre-quarterfinal match against Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt. Here are the details for this match.

Sindhu, however, has a dominant 4-1 record against her Danish opponent. Mia's only win against Sindhu came earlier this year at the Thailand Open. The Indian will look for redemption in the pre-quarters by putting in her best performance and makin her way to the quarters.

Sindhu has been dominant in both her group stage games. A similar display in the knockout stages will definitely help her improve her chances of winning another Olympic medal.
