Saina Nehwal interview about Cricket and other Sports: Although hockey is the national sport of India, the sport that lives in the hearts of people here is cricket (Indian Cricket Team). Cricketers are far ahead in terms of earning as compared to other athletes. At the same time, they also get world class facilities. This is what India's star badminton player Saina Nehwal does not like. Recently, during a conversation in a podcast, her anger also came out on this issue.

If athletes of other sports also get facilities like cricket, then India will win medals against China

Saina revealed that we do not get any fees for playing matches like cricketers. You will find cricket academies everywhere in India, but this is not the case for badminton. In such a situation, how will good players be prepared? Why do athletes from countries like China, America win 100 medals each? Because they get all the facilities that are given to cricketers here. If we also get all this, then India will also win more than 100 medals.

I have reached here by myself

Saina further said that cricketers get many opportunities to move forward, but players like us reach here after struggling on our own. Cricketers get full salary even during injuries.

During the podcast, the host said that cricket is a risky game, in which one can die if hit by the ball, but this does not happen in badminton. On this, the badminton star said, 'No one plays cricket to die. I do not want to die by playing with Bumrah, why would I play with him. If Bumrah plays with me, then even he might not be able to take my smash.'

During the podcast, Saina told another thing that she did not know earlier that there is a game like javelin throw in the Olympics. She came to know about it when Neeraj Chopra won the gold medal. At the same time, Saina also called herself a fan of Dhoni.
