Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen has become the talk of the town after his exceptional performance at the Paris Olympics 2024. In a much anticipated and virtual knockout Group L match, Sen triumphed over World No. 4 Jonatan Christie from Indonesia, securing his place in the Round of 16.

During the first game, with the score at a tense 19-18 in Sen’s favor, he executed one of the most remarkable shots of the day.

Christie delivered a powerful smash that seemed to have Sen on the back foot. However, the 22-year-old showed an extraordinary display of skill and audacity with an insane no-look shot from behind his back, catching Christie completely off guard and eventually clinching the crucial point.

Lakshya Sen tops Group L to qualify for the Round of 16 of the Paris Olympics 2024

Lakshya Sen’s victory over Jonatan Christie with scores of 21-18 and 21-12, is undoubtedly one of his career highlights. Ranked World No. 18, Sen faced an uphill battle against the higher-ranked Christie.

Despite having a poor head-to-head record against him, with only one win in five encounters, Lakshya Sen rose to the occasion on the grandest stage and made a statement.

The task wasn’t easy for Sen as the match began with him trailing 2-8, but he quickly turned the tide with a stunning seven-point streak. This not only erased Christie’s lead but also sent a clear message that Sen was here to win.

Once Sen got the momentum, he forced the Indonesian to make some errors and kept him on the back foot throughout to seal the match and book his berth for the Round of 16.

This win will be a great confidence booster for Sen going forward in the competition.
