Former Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju applauded ace badminton player PV Sindhu on Saturday.

Sindhu will not be able to return with a silver or gold in the women's singles event as she lost to Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu-Ying in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics on Saturday.

Sindhu will now play for bronze on Sunday.

Rijiju, the Union Minister of Law and Justice, said India is proud of Sindhu's achievement and everyone will cheer for the badminton player in the bronze medal match.

"Don't be disheartened @Pvsindhu1 India is proud of your achievements. You can still come back with a medal for India. We will cheer for you in the bronze medal match. #Cheer4India," Rijiju tweeted.

Tzu-Ying defeated Sindhu 21-18, 21-12 in the semifinals.
