In the Olympic Games held in Paris, India's young badminton star Lakshya Sech came close to winning a medal but missed it. Despite this, his performance was highly praised. Especially in one match, the way he returned his backhand surprised not only his opponent but also the spectators. That one shot garnered a lot of attention. If that shot was amazing, then in the Paralympic Games being held in Paris, India's para-badminton player Shivarajan Solaimalai made Lakshya's shot look pale with his amazing dive performance. In one match, Shivarajan dived twice in a row as if he was a superman and won the point slipping from his hands.

This match was being played between India's Shivarajan and Hong Kong player. Hong Kong player Chu Man Kai won the first game. In the second game too, he was ahead of Shivarajan and the Indian player's defeat was certain. Despite this, Shivarajan did not give up and not only put in his best efforts for each point, but also made his opponent sweat. Something similar happened for the 23rd point of this game. After the initial 22 points, the Hong Kong player was leading 13-9. This is where we saw the superman avatar of Shivarajan.

One of Kai's returns was very close to the net but Shivarajan was far away from it. He ran to his left and took a long dive and saved the point by returning the shuttle. His efforts were not enough because this time the Hong Kong player returned to Shivarajan's right and this is where Shiva displayed amazing fitness and reflexes. He immediately got up and flying completely in the air to his right, took a long dive and saved the shuttle from falling into the court. His return was so tremendous that even Kai had not expected it and he fell into the court.
