New Delhi, Apr 2 (IBNS): Siri Fort Sports Complex here cheered aloud and the Indian flag flew high above as Olympic star PV Sindhu defeated Carolina Marin of Spain in straight games to win her maiden India Open Superseries badminton title.

Sindhu defeated the Spanish player 21-19, 21-16.

Sindhu was defeated in the Olympics final last year by Marin.
