PETALING JAYA: Lee Zii Jia’s stunning backhand smash against world No. 1 Kento Momota has garnered 9.9mil views, thrilling badminton fans but the Malaysian would rather have a win over the Japanese than being a star in the viral video.

Zii Jia’s superb action in the quarter-finals of the Korean Open in October has been named as the third most watched highlights shared on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Facebook page in the 2019 season.
