New Delhi: With the Premier Badminton League just around the corner, world No. 2, Saina Nehwal is all excited to represent her team Awadhe Warriors and is looking at joining her team soon.
With her team boasting names like Christinna Pedersen of Denmark, Sai Praneeth Bhamidipati, Cai Yun of China, Hendra Gunawan of Indonesia and Bodin Issara of Thailand to name a few, Saina is all confident of her team giving a strong fight to the opponents on the court.
