Former national coach Prakash Padukone described India's badminton performance at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya as a little disappointing following a team bronze medal.
Padukone noted that Indian players returned empty-handed in individual events after four quarter-final exits and urged athletes to demonstrate greater consistency.
He advised leading players to select four or five key tournaments each season to peak physically while praising PV Sindhu's enduring competitive hunger.
