Pramod and trick shots - an affair of a lifetime!

Trust Pramod Bhagat to go for wacky shots during pressure points as he went for a tweener on match point! Just insane stuff!

Pramod Bhagat becomes the first Indian para badminton player to storm into the finals!

Is an all-Indian clash on the cards in the finals? Well, Pramod Bhagat will be waiting!

Childhood dream achieved for Pramod Bhagat as he eyes gold!

Its a big day for Indian Sports tomorrow & I would want all of us to come together.When I picked up the racquet in my teenage it was my dream to be playing at this level & serving the nation in my best of limits. My aim is to make India the badminton hub. I hope & pray I succeed. pic.twitter.com/2STS55mrFU

Fujhihara saves 2 match points as Pramod hits a couple of cheeky shots - tweeners, et al!

And it is Pramod with 6 Match Points!

Players are keeping very close to the net in this match

We just witness a 50-shot rally!!!

What an intense rally! Both players push each other to their extremes as Pramod, with very quick reflexes gets on top of the 50-strokes rally! 

Currently, Pramod leads the table still at 16-12 in Game 2! Great stuff from both players.
