Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu Wednesday said she still has lots to learn and needs to add a few more shots to her repertoire to dominate world badminton.

With silver medals at all the major events, including the Olympics, World Championship, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, Sindhu has been a formidable force in the world in the last three years.

But the world no 1 tag has eluded her with Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu Ying stamping her authority at the top with 14 title triumphs since 2016.

Asked if she needs to add strokes and deception to dominate world badminton, Sindhu said: "Definitely yes.It is only the starting for me. I have a lot more to learn. I have good strokes but I have to keep learning new strokes everyday.

"But I think only one player can't dominate badminton, because the game is changing right now as a lot more players are coming up. Also on a particular day, you have to be 100 percent, can't be even 1 % here or there, if you count 1 to 20 in the world, all are of the same standard, so have to be focused all the time."
Asked about ending the title drought for India, Sindhu said: "Hopefully yes, I think it will be really good if someone breaks it someday and definitely we will work for that."
