Chief national badminton coach Pullela Gopichand on Friday admitted that it was tough for him to manage two of his illustrious wards Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu together, saying he could never pick a favourite between the two.
"Even in my dream, I cannot say this is my favourite trainee that will be end of me. Over the year it's been tough but I needed to manage. Each one's journey is very different, each of the champions is very different," Gopichand said at the TATA Steel Literary Meet.
"To celebrate that diversity is India. If you go to China, you won't find the diversity. You will see one model fits all. But here each one is taken a different path and it's a challenge to bring everyone walk a same path and get a medal."
