India have completed one of the most remarkable achievements in sports when they blew away reigning champions and 14-time winners Indonesia 3-0 in a pulsating final to clinch their maiden Thomas Cup crown in the 2022 edition at the Impact Arena here today.
Although world number nine Lakshya was completely outclassed by world number five Anthony 8-21 in the first game, the Indian shuttler managed to regain his composure and stage an astonishing comeback to win the next two games to give India a flying start. Credit to Satwiksairaj-Chirag for not capitulating but, instead, turning the tables on the Indonesians to win the next two games 23-21, 21-19 in a nail-biting match that lasted 73 minutes to tighten India’s grip on the prestigious Cup.
The 29-year-old Guntur-born former world number one, however, had to slog it out with the gutsy Jonatan before sealing victory that sparked pandemonium in the Indian badminton camp.
