The news of Arjuna award for her and the Dronacharya for her coach Pullela Gopichand was perhaps just the medicine that Saina Nehwal needed before the World Championship (Aug 10-16) in Hyderabad. Saina has been down with chicken pox since Sunday. "It's great news. Full credit to Gopi bhaiya," said Saina. Gopi, on the contrary, not only refused to take credit for Saina's rise on the world stage but also credited her 'shishya' as the reason for he getting the Dronacharya Award. "Even after achieving so much, she's very sincere," the proud coach said of his protege.
