Big news has come for India from Paris Olympics. India’s Lakshya Sen had won the first round match in the badminton men’s singles event held on Sunday. But now his victory has been declared invalid.

But now India’s target has been defeated even after winning this match. It is being told that Kevin Corden is out due to an elbow injury. Lakshya’s victory has been ruined due to his exclusion.
