Hyderabad: India's single women's badminton coach South Korea's Kim Ji Hyun has resigned from his post due to personal reasons. Kim has been working with the Indian player for the past four months and has played a major role in the world number-5 PV Sindhu becoming world champion. Kim's husband, who was living in New Zealand a few weeks ago, his health suddenly worsened.

According to the 'Times of India' report, Kim had to travel to New Zealand due to her ill health. Her husband needs to be cared for at least six weeks to recover and may even have surgery. Last week, Kim said she did not fully know when she would return and her resignation made it clear that Sindhu would now have to play without her guidance.

This will increase the workload on Pullela Gopichand and his support staff. Kim did a brilliant job during her tenure, helping Sindhu win the gold medal at the World Championship. With the next Olympics in Tokyo now just 11 months away, finding a new coach is no less a challenge for the Badminton Association of India (BAI).
