We are also not satisfied because we know that you can go to greater heights. You have that ability with Gopi&#8217;s guidance. There are better days ahead and as a sportsperson, you always try to believe that your best is yet to come,&#8221; the iconic Indian batsman said at the felicitation function. <\/p>\n<p>While announcing a BMW car for Saina and a car each for her coach P Gopichand and budding talent P V Sindhu, Sachin said, &#8220;I am quite confident that your best is yet to come and you will emerge victorious across the world and that is what we want&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>The Hindu<\/strong> reports that Sachin also congratulated all the Olympic medallists. \u201cI am sure that somewhere in India they will be hearing my voice.

For, the \u2018God of Cricket\u2019 is here. This is a great inspiration for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Former Andhra Ranji captain V. Chamundeswaranath and his friends were also instrumental in presenting a Hyundai car to Pullela Gopi Chand and a Maruti Swift car to Asian under-19 badminton champion P. V. Sindhu. \u201cThe Olympic medal means a lot of dedication, hard work and vision. I should congratulate Saina\u2019s father (Dr. Harvir Singh) who keeps sending me congratulatory messages every time I do well. This is a terrific achievement by her and you are greatly responsible for this along with Gopi,\u201d Sachin said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Saina Nehwal <strong>Deccan Herald <\/strong>in an interview that life has change a lot after the bronze medal win at London Olympics. \u201cThe bronze medal changed a lot of things in my life. After this, more people have started recognising me. I have become like a legend (she laughs). It\u2019s wonderful to win an Olympic medal. I feel great for the love and affection from the people. Life has become sweeter now. It\u2019s a dream of every player to win an Olympic medal and I am also one of them. Now, I have something to show for my hardwork. I will work harder and try harder and give my best effort to win more laurels to the country. When you play well, more people will notice and you win more fans, so obviously, the expectations will be higher. But I am used to it now and enjoy every moment of it.
