Doesn’t it feel amazing when a regular guy beats a legendary player? Isn’t it amazing when a normal player suddenly plays his best and wins against the best player? Well that’s what K. Srikanth did, when he won against Lin Dan in the China Open. Lin Dan hardly loses matches. In fact no one thought Srikanth would win, until he did. Srikanth has lost to Lin Dan twice before. But this time he was prepared. He had reached the finals of the China Open, and had created a strategy to win. Srikanth was very calm during the game, and he was in control of the speed of the game. Speed is Lin Dan’s plus point, so Srikanth did not want Lin Dan to use his strength and ensured that the speed of the match was controlled. This strategy helped him win the tournament against all odds.
