It takes guts to take up doubles in India: Jwala

Reiterating the need to support Indian doubles shuttler, India’s doubles specialist Jwala Gutta on Tuesday said she wants to use her wealth of experience and join the BAI as an advisor to help out the players and address their recurring issues. “I think I have enough experience and I have won number of titles and medals for my country to be the best person to help the doubles shuttlers. I want to join the association in the administration, may be as an advisor to address the plaguing issues of Indian doubles,” Jwala said. Jwala, who won the Commonwealth Games gold in 2010 and silver at 2014 Glasgow edition, said doubles doesn’t get the sort of support singles players get in India and unless it is improved the country can never become a dominant force.
