Indian Sports history would have barely seen much success. But the last few months have been emphatic for them. Their athletes in different sporting events have shown their true skill and hard work. Defeating the best of the best, they proved that it won’t be so easy to compete against them in the future
Let’s discuss some of their historical outings this year in world sports.

The highlight for this year would be the famous Thomas Cup victory. India shocked the event’s royalty, Indonesia with a 3-0 win. Dismantling the 14-time champion was a tough task indeed. But the Indian Team’s grit and determination made them achieve this feat. They became only the sixth nation to win the coveted trophy.
This win produced new heroes for their sports history, which was quite difficult in a cricket-mad country. This memorable victory will tend to do for badminton, what the 1983 cricket world cup win did for Indian cricket.
