India announces Rs 1 cr reward for Thomas Cup-winning badminton team
Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday announced a cash award of Rs 1 crore to the Indian men's badminton team which created history by winning the coveted Thomas Cup title for the first time. India scripted a spectacular 3-0 victory over 14-time champions Indonesia in the Thomas Cup final in Bangkok on Sunday. India's extraordinary feat of winning the Thomas Cup with successive victories over Malaysia, Denmark and Indonesia in the play-offs called for a relaxation of rules," said Thakur in a statement. "It is with pride that I announce the award of Rs 1 crore to the team that Indians so much joy this weekend. Thakur complimented the players, coaches and support staff of the Indian team for the historic triumph. Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy kept a clean slate by winning each time they stepped on court.
