It's always nice to bring a medal back home, nothing beats doing well for the country", she said.
" It's a massive confidence boost with the Asian Games around the corner. We would love to carry this rhythm there as well", she added. Dipika further praised her partner Harinder. "He is a fantastic player with a wonderful future. We haven't played with each other, but we have known each other since the Junior days and have travelled a lot together. Elated this partnership is working well. We go back, train harder work on a few things we need to look forward to doing better at the Asian Games".
