Thomas Cup: This was the finest team to represent India, says Prakash Padukone

Thomas Cup victory is as big as it gets in terms of a team title in badminton. As a team's dream turned into reality, India's badminton legend Prakash Padukone underlined the passion, focus and dedication that goes into making a champion team. THOMAS CUP WIN: WISH TEAM INDIA"It is an unforgettable red-letter day for Indian badminton. We have now truly arrived on the big scene. It was a brilliant team effort on the whole. The performance of this team is not a flash in the pan, they have worked very hard for it. It is no small feat to beat Malaysia, Denmark and Indonesia in a week. Earlier, due to various factors like injuries and non-availability of players, we were unable to field the best team, but this was the finest team to represent India," said Padukone, who spearheaded the Indian team which reached the semifinals of the competition 43 years ago. The 66-year-old was all praise for the doubles pair of Satwik Sairaj and Chirag Shetty. The duo put India in a position of strength with their comeback 18-21, 23-21, 21-19 win over the famed pair of Md Ahsan and Kevin Sukamuljo.

Thomas Cup: 2022 can be Indian badminton's equivalent of cricket's 1983, says Vimal Kumar

Vimal Kumar has seen Indian badminton travel through valleys and peaks. From Pullela Gopichand winning the All England to Saina Nehwal becoming world No.1 and PV Sindhu being crowned world champion, Vimal has witnessed it from the vantage point of a player, coach and manager.

It was in a way reminiscent of India beating the mighty West Indies twice at the 1983 World Cup, including in the final, to win the trophy. Vimal didn't disagree.
