Copenhagen: An exuberant P V Sindhu would look to improve the colour of her medal even as
a fit-again Saina Nehwal eyes her maiden podium finish when a confident Indian badminton
team starts its campaign in the World Championship here today.
Saina, on the other hand, is back in action after taking a break to recover from the leg injury she sustained during her Australian Open triumph in June, as a result of which she was forced out of the Commonwealth Games.

Sindhu, fresh from a bronze in Glasgow Commonwealth Games, would try to ensure that she ends up better than third, a position she managed in the previous edition which made her the first Indian to win a medal at the prestigious event.
Back after a break
Saina, on the other hand, is back in action after taking a break to recover from the leg injury she sustained during her Australian Open triumph in June, as a result of which she was forced out of the Commonwealth Games.
"Till the end of July, I had not fully recovered from the injury which I sustained after Australian Open. This has affected my training but in the last three weeks, I have caught up and feel I will do my best in this tournament," Saina told PTI ahead of the mega event.
In men's singles, CWG gold-medallist Parupalli Kashyap will be India's best bet for a medal.
