2013 began on a positive note for Sindhu as she clinched the Malaysia Open title. Then a few months later, she created history by becoming the only the second Indian and first woman shuttler from her country to win a World Championship medal, going past some very big names in the process.

She ended the year like she started it, winning a second title – this time in Macau – to round off a fruitful 2013.
