Like in the quarterfinals, HS Prannoy pulled off a thriller in India’s Thomas Cup semifinal against Denmark. Making light of a painful injury he sustained during the first game, HS Prannoy won the decider against Rasmus Gemke 13-21, 21-9, 21-12 to put India in their first ever final, in Bangkok on Friday.
Limping for the most part of the third game, Prannoy could not believe his luck as he won the last point to help Indian down Denmark 3-2 in the semifinals. His teammates charged on to the court and celebrated India’s best ever triumph in a team event.
