But, this was a great effort from Srikanth nonetheless! He had never been into a CWG final before! And in his first appearance in the final, he managed to take a game off the legendary Lee and display his fiery attack!
That will surely stand him in good stead for the rest of the season.

Age is just a number! A legend remains a legend forever! What a show that was from the great Lee Chong Wei!
From the second game, we got to see a very different Lee Chong Wei....the champion in him awoke. He gave Srikanth absolutely no chance after that!
Salute to the great Malaysian!
