Nehwal already holds the title for the first Indian to win the World Junior Badminton Championships and the first Indian to win a Super Series tournament. In a country where cricket is the only sport synonymous with moolah, she became India's highest-paid non-cricketing sportsperson when she signed a $7.4 million deal with Rhiti Sports in 2012. Her unrelenting success and indefatigable dedication has inspired a lot of youngsters to ditch the cricket bat and take up the badminton racquet, bringing a much-needed change in attitude towards the sport.
