#ThomasCup

Vijaydeep Singh watched India go from nowhere to the team nobody wanted to face — and fed them every step of the way. India finished with its second Thomas Cup medal, a bronze, in five years after bowing out of semis on Saturday

The 20-year-old defeated Weng Hong Yang with a mix of net magic drizzled into his big attack as he won 17-21, 21-13, 21-15, after losses for Lakshya Sen, Satwik-Chirag and Hari-Arjun; HS Prannoy battling 11-8

India have never beaten China at a Thomas Cup. Wednesday's group tie at Horsens is the closest they have come in years — if they start well

Yuqi pulled out of the tie against Canada's Victor Lai after a gastro attack on Sunday night; the World No 1 will play against India on Wednesday only if he recovers

After Sen’s loss, Satwik-Chirag restored parity and Ayush kept his cool as India took the tie 4-1
