Beijing: Indian shuttlers Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal may have hit global headlines with their big wins against China’s superstars of badminton but sadly they have not made it into the state-run Chinese media, which played down their herculean achievement.

Top English dailies like China Daily and Global Times which have big sports pages found little or no space for the Indian duo’s whitewash of Chinese stars in USD seven lakh China Open, while it found a little mention in the sports programme of the English CCTV.

China Daily completely ignored the event, while Global Times published a picture of China’s superstar badminton player trying to reach a Srikanth volley.

The event was telecast live on the CCTV sports channels with locals cheering their Chinese stars.

But the media coverage has gone cold once China suffered a white wash.

State run Xinhua news agency ran a brief story after Sunday’s match saying “Lan Dan stunned by Indian young shuttler Srikanth in China Open final” failing to make his 6th champion of the tournament. (PTI)
