Yes, it's the first time India has reached the Final. The 1979 team reached the semifinals and lost to Denmark. That was a different format with the old scoring system.

The new format was introduced in 1990. In the new format India has never reached the semis before 2022.

Bro in The Bridge post, they mentioned India reached finals for the first time after 72 years. Now I'm confused. Haha.

I checked the H2H, Prannoy has 2-0 vs Rhustavito, but they met in 2010 and 2017, so its hard to base any prediction on that

Are there any news about Prannoys condition? Can he play? If he cannot play IND will suffer if its 2-2

If it wasn’t for this ankle problem, this final against Indonesia would be pretty even and maybe even favour India. If India can get a MD1 win, it’s going to be a tense match. India might not get a better chance of lifting the Thomas Cup for the next few years.
 
Voot telecasting final in Hindi too. I hope they had a platform like Star where they could have streamed in regional languages too. Star does it. Anyways, with more popularity I wish they stream in regional languages too.

I concur. I think

MS1: Lakshya needs to win against Ginting. I'll give lakshya 60-40 as Ginting is not the Ginting we know from 2018-19. Lakshya even though not experienced enough against top 10 players, I think he can win

MD1: SatChi vs Kevin Ahsan is 50-50 or shall I say 55-45 in favour of Kevin Ahsan. The reason I say it is coz SatChi is not the same anymore. Though they have beaten KevAhs in BATC some years ago, I think it'll be close. KevAhs is a scratch pairing, but they can be lethal.

Till now 1-1

MS2: Kidambi has a good chance to win against JoJo. Both the players are not the same like before. 50-50. But Kidambi can get a point here.

1-2

MD2: Surely Fajri if they are up against Krishna and Panjala. I think Dhruv and Arjun will play. If Dhruv plays then I think there'll be a fight. 65-35 in favour of FajRi.

2-2 till now.

MS3: Prannoy vs Shesar. Prannoy was in pain after the match last night. It'll be critical. Can't predict in this.

So if India has to win. They really need to win MS1. MD1 dicey. MS2 is winnable and then hope for Prannoy to seal it. If Prannoy is not in the condition, we have to pray we beat them 3-0 then. It's either 3-0 or 3-2 if we are to win , I'm predicting.

Fingers crossed and All the best to players and to my fellow supporters

Guys, am I "baddie the octopus" now ? My predictions and analysis have been spot on. Yes I'm talking highly of myself. Haha
 
I take back everything bad I said about Kidambi in the past.
BAI did a great job to pick the strongest team and every player was motivated to win. In the past I remember the top players used to skip the team events, probably thinking that the team had no chance of winning.

Why ? I don't see any wrong in it unless and until the post is very personal. If some constructive criticism is done to tell that things aren't what the player thinks, then we can say that. And we know what was happening at that time bro. There was a delusional feeling at that time.

As the person learns from his mistakes and olays proactively, I think it's a great thing. And fans like you and me are acknowledging what Srikanth have achieved.

I sincerely believe constructive criticism is a part of supporting a player.

It's okay to criticize as long as no derogatory language is being used. I think we all only do that because we want our players to reach greater heights and only wish well for them. We sometime write stuff because we are running high on emotions, stuff which we don't even mean but post in the heat of the moment. That's what sport do to you. But we equally show our respect and love for them when they achieve something. That's the beauty of the sports.

Honestly though, they don't do a great job with Hindi commentary. It could be so much better and enjoyable but they always sound repetitive, same old and boring one liners each time, every time.
