This video shows highlights of match between HS Prannoy of India and Leong Jun Hao of Malaysia, which was the deciding 5th match in Thomas Cup 2022.
India men's badminton team scripted history on Thursday, May 12 by becoming the first side from the country to confirm a Thomas Cup medal. India defeated 5-time champions Malaysia 3-2 in the quarter-final of the prestigious team event to reach their first semi-final since 1979.
HS Prannnoy won the deciding match, beating Leong Jun Hao in straight games as the Indian men's team ran onto the court celebrating the historic feat. Prannoy was pumped up as he held his calm and delivered big for the team when the contest was tied at 2-2 before the final singles match.
Until Thursday, India had never won a medal at the Thomas Cup even as the women won bronze medals as recently as 2014 and 2016 in Uber Cup. The young side led by World Championship silver medalist Kidambi Srikanth was on fire as they bounced back from a 0-1 scoreline to take the tie 3-2 and book a spot in the semi-final.
