NEW DELHI: Former Asian badminton champion Dinesh Khanna on Sunday congratulated the Indian badminton team for winning its first-ever Thomas Cup trophy, saying that it is like India's first-ever triumph in cricket in the 1983 world cup.
"It is absolutely fantastic. It is like winning the world cup in cricket for the first time in 1983. Thomas Cup as we know is the top team championship in the sport for men. So, there is nothing greater than this win, as far as the team championship for men in the sport is concerned. I think this is a great moment for Indian badminton and we all Indians are proud of this achievement," said Khanna in an exclusive interview to ANI.
