MALAYSIAN singles player Lee Zii Jia has triggered a huge row in India, but it is no fault of his. His bronze medal playoff win over Lakhsya Sen has divided Indians.
Former singles ace Prakash Padukone has harshly criticised Lakshya over the defeat but Indian’s women’s doubles international Ashwini Ponnappa has sprung to the young player’s defence and hit back at the former All-England champion.
