Badminton legend Prakash Padukone stated that Lakshya Sen has all the qualities to “remain a medal contender for the next few years”.
Lakshya, who trains at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy (PPBA) here, recorded a fairytale runner-up finish at the prestigious All England championships on Sunday.
“Lakshya has truly announced his arrival on the world stage, but the greater challenge for him begins now. From my own experience, I can say with conviction that reaching the highest level is difficult, but the bigger challenge is staying at that level as it requires a lot more effort and mental strength. However, as of now, Lakshya has all the qualities required to remain a medal contender for the next few years,” Padukone stated.
