Beriita Badminton: The parents of Kidambi Srikanth didn’t see his game, they never saw it, not just now, even if their son is at the top of history as the first Indian men’s single player to make it to a World Cup final and one One step before the end was the title that ultimately won the silver medal.

“It is good?” This is definitely not what you would expect after sharing your success story. But mother will still be mother.

For parents, it can be superstition. What once worked for their children, parents tend to cling to.

In the household of Kidambi Srikanth, Srikanth’s older brother Nandagopal is a news source. While her mother and father were away from television, live streaming and phone calls, Nandagopal brought the news of Srikanth’s successes and setbacks. Occasionally her father, KVS Krishna, would look at the score and then turn around.

“My mom didn’t watch a game, neither mom nor dad, from the beginning, not just now. Either I’ll call after my game or my brother will let you know the result. “Kidambi told TimesofIndia.com from home.

“My father sometimes watches the results, but my mother is not very tech-friendly and doesn’t watch the games either.”

Srikanth’s performance at the World Championships in Huelva, Spain was stopped by the unseeded Loh Kean Yew. The Singaporean won the final 21-15, 22-20.

Srikanth wasn’t on the right side of the result, but it made him the fourth Indian player to win a medal at the World Cup. After Prakash Padukone won bronze medals in 1983, HS Prannoy in 2019 and Lakshya Sen in 2021, Srikanth silver is the best result for Indian men’s badminton in a top-class tournament.

Srikanth, 28, called home immediately after the game.

“It (the conversation) was essentially about congratulating me and then a kind of typical Indian mother question,” she said of a brief conversation with her mother Radha. A smile followed and he continued: “He asked if I was eating well, if I was okay and if I was okay,” Kidambi continued.
