Lakshya, who’s been having a stellar season so far, became only the fourth Indian in the final of the men’s singles event at the All England Open Badminton Championships after a gruelling semi-final victory over Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in a contest that lasted an hour and 16 minutes.
“Towards the end, I was just trying to not think about the things that was going around, it was an All England semifinal and the thoughts were coming in but I was trying to keep myself focussed,” Sen said after his victory.
