The 29-year-old expressed that the PBL has helped all players improve their game.

“The good thing is we have a lot of high level matches being played in the country. As players we also get to learn a lot from each other. To be part of a team, play some great matches, which definitely help us grow as players. The youngsters get to learn a lot in this tournament. Since the tournament is played in different cities, badminton fans get to witness a lot of high class and top quality matches.”
