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 WIN: WISH TEAM INDIALike Shetty in his doubles win with Satwiksairaj Rankireddy reinforcing the tone set by an indefatigable Lakshya Sen in the opening singles, it was in the air.

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.
