'A Child As Precious As Gold Has Turned To Dust': How Para Shuttler Abu Hubaida Proved Everyone Wrong
That is how Abu Hubaida, now World No. 4 in men’s doubles para-badminton, remembers his earliest years. Today, he stands as one of India’s most consistent para-athletes, a four-time national champion and a Laxman Awardee, but his road has been shaped as much by resistance as by support.
Hubaida is one of India’s most celebrated para-badminton athletes, who has just got a bronze medal in men’s doubles (WH1- WH2) at the 2025 Asian Para-Badminton Championships in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Partnering with Prem Kumar Ale, Hubaida defeated Thailand’s A. Sai Len and A. Sriboran in straight sets (21- 12, 21- 12). This is India’s first-ever wheelchair doubles medal at the Asian continental level. “This win is not just a medal for me, but a moment of pride for every Indian para-athlete. I dedicate this to all those who dream beyond limits,” he said.
