The footage was originally shared by Instagram on Tuesday, July 20, as part of their campaign to promote 2020 Tokyo athletes.

PV Sindhu returned with a Silver medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics and wants to settle no less than gold this time around.

"I want to convert my silver medal to gold," Sindhu said. "But I also hope to inspire young athletes across the world, just as I was inspired when I watched the Olympics as a kid."

She is the only female shuttler to qualify for Tokyo Olympics from India. The ace player is placed in Group J in the Olympic draw along with Cheung Ngan Yi (HKG) and Ksenia Polikarpova (ISR) and will start her campaign on July 25 against Israel's Ksenia Olegovna Polikarpova.
