It was an ivory cotton saree with a tricolour themed border that PV Sindhu wore. For Achanta Sharath Kamal, a traditional Indian kurta-bundi set that featured the tricolour themed borders were the top choice. Both the ensembles had ikat inspired prints and Banarasi brocade on them that aimed to reflect a modern Indian ethos.
Sharath Kamal's kurta set was crafted from a lightweight cotton moss fabric which ensured it would remain breathable in the French weather. PV Sindhu's saree was made of viscose crepe that helped it drape naturally around her figure. It was teamed with a high-neck blouse. Both the sportspersons' outfits featured digital prints with saffron and green coloured panels that were inspired by ikat.
PV Sindhu and Achanta Sharath Kamal in their Tarun Tahiliani-designed ensembles made quite an impact while leading the Indian Olympic contingent in Paris.
