New Delhi: A constant presence at the coach’s chair during wife Saina Nehwal’s matches, Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap says he is eager to take up full time coaching once he retires from the game. But, he said retirement is the last thing he is thinking right now.
A former world number 6, Kashyap has set a target of qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, though many would feel a tough task for him. Currently ranked at 55, Kashyap, a 2014 Commonwealth Games champion, has not reached a semifinal of a top-tier tournament (Super series or Super 500) in close to four years. He reached the 2017 US Open Grand Prix Gold final and also won the Austrian Open International challenge in 2018.
