Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media on Sunday to commend badminton star HS Prannoy for his exceptional performance and bronze medal victory at the World Championships. He praised Prannoy as a true inspiration for all badminton enthusiasts.
Prannoy’s remarkable journey at the World Championships concluded with a hard-fought semifinal match against Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn. Despite a valiant effort, Prannoy lost in three games, securing a bronze medal. This achievement extended India’s impressive streak of having at least one medallist in the tournament since 2011.
In his X post, Modi expressed his admiration for Prannoy’s accomplishment, stating, “What a brilliant achievement by @PRANNOYHSPRI at BWF World Championships 2023! Congratulations to him on winning the Bronze medal.” The prime minister emphasized Prannoy’s skill and dedication, highlighting his outstanding performance throughout the tournament.
During the semifinal match, Prannoy exhibited a strong start, securing an early advantage. However, his opponent Vitidsarn, a former three-time world junior champion, displayed a combination of solid defense and aggressive play to mount a comeback. Ultimately, Vitidsarn emerged victorious with an 18-21, 21-13, 21-14 scoreline, securing his second consecutive spot in the final.
Prannoy’s accomplishment not only adds to India’s medal tally but also reflects his dedication and prowess on the badminton court. As the nation celebrates his bronze medal victory, Prannoy’s journey serves as a testament to the talent and determination within India’s badminton community.
