Having won gold at the 2019 World Championship and having become the first Indian female athlete to win two individual medals at the Olympics, worldwide success has made the badminton player hailing from Hyderabad a sporting icon in the country. Sindhu had a career-high ranking of world no. 2 in 2017, and recently won gold at 2022 Commonwealth Games. Aside from her on-court heroics, Sindhu is also one of the highest-paid female athletes, as reported by Forbes. With Sindhu being a brand magnet, here we take a look at the shuttler’s endorsement deals over the years.
