India's men's badminton team had to wait for the longest time to win a Thomas Cup title and this wait came to an end last Sunday, when the contingent defeated 14-time champions Indonesia to win a gold medal at the event for the very first time.

Doubles coach Mathias Boe witnessed history from close quarters and in a conversation with NDTV, he opened up on his training methods and how this win will help Chirag and Satwik going ahead.

Mathias Boe knows what it takes to win the Thomas Cup. He had done it all in 2016. But in the chair as India's doubles coach, sitting a few feet away from Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty up against four match points in the Thomas Cup final in Bangkok last Sunday, Mathias was doing his best to wear a poker face. "I was trying to stay calm and not look like we have lost" is how the 2012 Olympics silver medallist from Denmark summed up his emotions, while talking to TimesofIndia.com. Mathias has lived through what Satwik and Chirag scripted in those 73 minutes, which involved a miraculous recovery. In 2010, at the All England doubles final, the Dane was at the other side of it, alongside partner Carsten Mogensen. They squandered four match points before losing the fight for the title against their compatriots -- Lars Paaske and Jonas Rasmussen. Mathias could, hence, empathise with the Indonesians - Mohammad Ahsan and Kevin Sukamuljo - who couldn't convert any of those four match points. He termed it as a "miracle" at the hands of some steely resolve from the Indians that turned the doubles match on its head for a 2-0 lead in the final, which was turned into a title-clinching 3-0 scoreline by Kidambi Srikanth an hour later.

Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday announced a cash award of Rs 1 crore to the Indian men's badminton team which created history by winning the coveted Thomas Cup title for the first time. India scripted a spectacular 3-0 victory over 14-time champions Indonesia in the Thomas Cup final in Bangkok on Sunday. “India's extraordinary feat of winning the Thomas Cup with successive victories over Malaysia, Denmark and Indonesia in the play-offs called for a relaxation of rules," said Thakur in a statement. "It is with pride that I announce the award of Rs 1 crore to the team that Indians so much joy this weekend.” Thakur complimented the players, coaches and support staff of the Indian team for the historic triumph.
