Lauding PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik for winning medals at the Rio Olympic Games, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday said it is the beginning of a wonderful journey for the duo.
"This is a wonderful moment for Indian sport. Journey begins here, I am sure this doesn't stop here, we all will be joining that journey and are there to support you. You will keep us giving number of occasions to celebrate," he said.
Tendulkar, who was the Goodwill Ambassador of the Indian team at the Rio Olympics, handed over the keys at a function at the Gopichand Badminton Academy.
"Gopichand you have been a wonderful role model, you have gone a notch higher. We need your guidance in getting more medals. I thank various other coaches also," the batting maestro said.
