India ki Thomas Cup Finals mein title wapas jeetne ki umeedon ko jhatka laga. Semifinal mein France ke haath 0-3 se haar ka saamna karna pada. India ko bronze medal se hi santosh karna pada.
Thomas Cup Semifinal: India ka France se 0-3 se haar
Horsens, Denmark mein huye is match mein India ki team bilkul bhi game nahi jeet paayi. Teeno matches straight games mein haare gaye. PTI ke mutabiq, Lakshya Sen ki kami is haar ki sabse badi wajah rahi.
HS Prannoy ko world number 17 Toma Junior Popov ne 19-21, 16-21 se haraya. Ayush Shetty aur Kidambi Srikanth bhi apne matches haar gaye. India ek bhi game nahi jeet paaya.
India ka Thomas Cup mein bronze medal
India 2022 mein Thomas Cup champion tha. Is baar semifinal mein pahunchkar unhone medal pakka kar liya tha. PTI ke mutabiq, India ne isse pehle 1952, 1955 aur 1979 mein bhi bronze medal jeeta tha.
France ki jeet bada historical moment hai. Woh Denmark ke baad doosra European nation ban gaya jo Thomas Cup ke final mein pahuncha hai. Denmark ne 2016 mein pehli baar title jeeta tha.
Hamaari Baat: Thomas Cup mein India ki haar par seedhi baat
Hamari nazar mein, Lakshya Sen ki absence ne India ki team ko kaafi weak kar diya. Prannoy ne acchi shuruaat ki thi lekin woh momentum nahi bana paaye. Ayush Shetty aur Kidambi Srikanth bhi apni game nahi dikha paaye. France ne poore tournament mein consistent performance dikhayi aur deserve kiya final mein pahunchne ka. India ke liye bronze medal koi bura result nahi hai, lekin 2022 ke champions ke liye yeh thoda disappointment zaroor hai. Umeed hai ki agle baar team full strength ke saath wapas aayegi.
