Led by Kidambi Srikanth, HS Prannoy and the doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, the Indian men's badminton team created history as they stormed into the finals of the Thomas Cup for the first time in 73 years of the existence of World Team Championships.
Having already confirmed a bronze when they defeated Malaysia in the quarter-finals in 3-2, the Indian team repeated their heroics against Denmark in the semi-finals, winning an edge-of-the-seat thriller 3-2, giving stiff competition to the former champions to book a mouth-watering clash with 14-time champions Indonesia in the finals.
With a chance at gold now, Lakshya Sen and Co. is in red-hot form and will be looking to take on the Anthony Ginting, Jonatan Christie-led side on Sunday. However, the Indonesian side is not to be taken lightly at all as they have tasted success the most number of times at the Thomas Cup whereas the Indians have only qualified for the first time for the finals - albeit in a raging good form, thanks to consistent and solid performances from Srikanth, Prannoy and Satwik-Chirag.
Having a day to rest in between the semi-finals and the finals, we can hope that the Indian contingent prepares well and fields the best team against a formidable Indonesian side who will be on the lookout for a 15th triumph while India is on the quest for their first-ever gold from the World Team Championships.
