The Mahindra Group chairman has shared what the ace Indian shuttler said about team spirit and urged everyone to "remember that: in business and in all of life."
Kidambi Srikanth, who remained unbeaten in the tournament, had said, “All of us enjoyed being a team. It was a different experience. The icing on the cake was winning the title.”

"Getting a wonderful team is always an achievement, creating history is just a byproduct then," one user wrote.
Another added, “Well said a great conquers everything.”
Echoing a similar sentiment, a person said, “Very true. it's the experience and the team bondings that form that matter more. Can say this from personal experience too.”
A few people on the social media platform declared that “team players are true sportspersons”.
