Thomas Uber Cup 2022: The Indian men's badminton team has created history by assuring India its first-ever medal in the Thomas Uber Cup after qualifying for the semifinals. India scripted a hard-fought 3-2 win over Malaysia in the quarterfinals to advance to the semfinals for the first time in 43 years. The Indian women's badminton team was knocked out of the tournament earlier after losing 0-3 to Thailand in the quarterfinals on May 12, 2022.
The Indian men's team has assured India of at least a bronze. India has not won a medal at the Thomas Uber Cup since 1970. Though India had won three bronze in the past when they reached inter-zonal finals, this is the first time since the change in the qualifying format that India has assured itself a medal at the prestigious tournament.
The Indian men's team triumphed over 5-time title winner Malaysia with Indian doubles duo of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, world championships silver medalist Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy winning their respective matches to see India through to the semifinals. India's Lakshya Sen lost his opening match against Lee Zii Jia.
