According to him, such nuances are unacceptable at the world big stage. He took to Twitter to express his feelings. He wrote:

“So upsetting to watch such poor refereeing at the Squash mixed doubles finals in Gold Coast. Surely expected it to be a lot fairer being a Gold Medal match! So proud of what you guys have achieved this week Saurav Ghosal and Dipika Pallikal . Chin up, you guys are the real winners to me and our entire nation! (sic)”

Indian Squash team were the first to bring the silver medal for the country in the sport. But Dipika Pallikal too posted her grievances on the fact of poor referring in Australia. They lost to the home team Donna Urquhart and Cameron Pilley by 0-2.

“Shocking decisions were made during the final. I felt it could have changed the whole scenario of the match if those decisions were fair. But that’s sport.”Dipika said to PTI.

Squash referring has always been a talked about thing by players but things come this way after and after. Indian wrestling and shooting team did very well. World’s first mixed team badminton champions were India.
