Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it - Twiteratti react as PV Sindhu leads India to 5-0 whitewash against Pakistan in Commonwealth Games opener

PV Sindhu was at her best in India's Commonwealth Games opener. (Image courtesy: Getty) Defending champions India stamped their authority by thrashing Pakistan 5-0 in their Group A opener of the badminton mixed team event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Friday (July 29). While and delivered the wins in singles, the pairs of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty and -Sumeeth Reddy claimed victories in the men's doubles and mixed doubles categories, respectively. In the women's doubles, the fast-rising young pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand hardly broke a sweat to seal the deal for India. It was a tough lesson for the inexperienced Pakistani shuttlers, who couldn't do much against their more fancied opponents. As the tie progressed, the gulf in experience and rankings became more and more evident as the Indians completed the whitewash without conceding a game. With India facing Pakistan, social media was abuzz with comments, as is the case whenever they square off in any sporting event. The general consensus on Twitter was that there was a big difference in the performance level between the two teams, with most praising the Indian shuttlers for their ruthless domination. Read: Some Pakistani badminton lovers, on the other hand, were genuinely disappointed to see their team crumble so badly. They pointed out that their badminton players had learned nothing from the 5-0 thrashing they received at the hands of India at the same stage at Gold Coast four years ago. Here are some of the reactions: Defending champions India begin their campaign with a 5-0 victory against Pakistan in Group A. Comfortable, confidence-boosting wins for Ashwini-Sumeeth, Srikanth Kidambi, PV Sindhu, Satwik-Chirag and Treesa-Gayatri (the 19-year-olds being the most dominant).
