Wait is over, the Spardha Badminton 2023 Group Stage begins today.
Mark your calendars and get ready to witness some fierce competition!

It's hard to believe that it's been three years since our badminton team took the courts by storm at Inter IIT. With just 4 days to go for Inter IIT Sports meet 2022, we look back at the incredible journey of our players. We couldn't be prouder of all their hard work, dedication, and accomplishments. So many memories and so much heart put into the court.

It has been a week since India’s historic Thomas Cup win, we look back at the moments from the tournament.

India defeated the 14-time champions Indonesia in the final to win their maiden gold medal in the tournament’s 73-year-long history.

India followed Chinese Taipei into the quarterfinals after whitewashing their group-mates Canada and Germany 5-0. The 2-3 defeat against Chinese Taipei meant India faced the formidable powerhouse Malaysia in the last 8.

A hard-fought 3-2 win against the 5-time champions set up a semifinal clash against Denmark who had last won this tournament in 2016. Another stunning display against the in-form Denmark, a team that had three men ranked 1, 3, and 13 in the world, this tie also went down to its last match in which HS Prannoy made a comeback after losing the first set. This 3-2 win led India to its first-ever Thomas Cup final. India had reached semi-finals of the Thomas Cup on only three occasions- 1952, 1955 and 1979.

Indonesia was an obvious favorite, having beaten all its Asian rivals — Singapore (4-1), Thailand (4-1), Korea (3-2), a depleted China (3-0), and Japan (3-2), in that order. India shocked Indonesia by the biggest margin, with Lakshya’s stunner against World No. 5 and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Anthony Ginting setting the pace. The doubles pairing of Satwik and Chirag saved 4 match points in the second set to triumph over the Indonesian pair of Ahsan-Sukamuljo. Srikanth also an underdog, stopped the World No. 8 Jonathan Christie, by snatching the match in 2 sets, making it 3-0 for India.
