Thomas Cup Semifinal: India vs France ka pura haal
India ke liye Lakshya Sen ki absence bahut bhaari padi. Unki jagah Ayush Shetty ko mauka mila, lekin woh bhi haar gaye. HS Prannoy ko bhi haar ka saamna karna pada. Prannoy world No. 17 Toma Junior Popov se 19-21, 16-21 se haare. [The Hindu] ke mutabiq, India ne ek bhi game nahi jeeta. Poora match ek taraf ka tha.
India ka Thomas Cup mein bronze medal ka safar
India 2022 mein Thomas Cup champion tha. Is baar semifinal mein pahunch kar unhone medal pakka kar liya tha. [The Hindu] ke mutabiq, India ne isse pehle 1952, 1955 aur 1979 mein bhi bronze medal jeeta tha. France ki baat karein toh woh Denmark ke baad final mein pahunchne wali doosri European nation ban gayi hai. Denmark ne 2016 mein pehli baar title jeeta tha.
Hamaari Baat: India ki haar aur France ki shaan
Seedha baat karein toh India ki haar Lakshya Sen ki wajah se nahi thi. Poori team ka performance kharab tha. Prannoy, Ayush Shetty aur Kidambi Srikanth — koi bhi apna game nahi khel paya. France ne bahut accha khela. Unka confidence dekhne layak tha. India ke liye yeh ek bada lesson hai. Agli baar unhein apni strategy aur player selection pe dhyan dena hoga. Bronze medal accha hai, lekin India 2022 ke champion hain. Unse umeedein zyada thi.
