I have the game to beat Chong Wei Feng, says Parupalli Kashyap

“If I win gold I will be in the mood to sing. Whenever I get a chance, I like to sing. I love singing,” the second seed explained.

“I like all the Bollywood music but I enjoy a lot of English music too. There is no particular first choice. If I can I will look for a karaoke bar in Glasgow after the Games.”

Despite recently dislocating his left shoulder, Kashyap believes he has enough to beat Malaysian medal favourite Chong Wei Feng and the rest of the field in the single draw.

“I have a tough draw but I expect to be in the final and win this time,” he said.

“I have lost to the top seed (Chong) a couple of times but I think I have the game to beat him.”
