Watch: Indian Badminton Stars Storm Court, Mob Teammate After Historic Win In Thomas Cup
The Indian men's badminton team made history on Thursday after entering the semi-finals of the Thomas Cup for the first time in 43 years. India beat Malaysia 3-2 in the quarterfinals and assured themselves of at least a bronze medal. This is India's first-ever medal in Thomas Cup since the change in the qualifying format. India, however, didn't have it easy and had to overcome a stiff challenge from the Malaysians. In the end, it all boiled down to the final singles tie between HS Prannoy and Leong Jun Hao. After an early stutter, Prannoy completely dominated the proceedings to win the match and send the team into raptures.
