India Targets Thomas & Uber Cup Glory With Sindhu, Sen, Satwik-Chirag; SAI Extends Rs. 1.45 Crore Support
A 34-member Indian team, including 20 players, five coaches, and nine support staff, is scheduled to go to Denmark for the prestigious team championships. Prominent athletes such as PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth, and the doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will compete, alongside rising stars in both men’s and women’s categories. The lineup also features several athletes from the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) Core and Development groups.
The Indian men are grouped with Canada, Australia, and China in the Thomas Cup, while our women are paired with Denmark, Ukraine, and China in the Uber Cup. India made history by winning the Thomas Cup title in 2022, defeating Indonesia in the final to secure its first title. This remarkable achievement marked India's rise as a global power in men’s team badminton.
