'Great meeting Coach Gopichand and badminton champions Saina Nehwal, Srikanth Kidambi, Chirag Shetty, and Parupalli Kashyap, who have played a part in putting badminton on the map for India. We served, smashed, and talked about how Apple Watch helps them train!' Cook said after the meeting.

'It was an honour to meet Tim Cook sir and had good discussion on the Apple Watch series 8 and some badminton as well,' Saina said on Instagram.
