MUMBAI: As Indian men’s team created history with first ever Thomas Cup title win, film personalities Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and SS Rajamouli among others, congratulated the champion squad for making the country proud.

India registered a dominant 3-0 win over 14-time champions Indonesia in the final on Sunday in Bangkok with an exceptional performance by World Championships medallist Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth and world number 8 doubles duo of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy.

Soon after the victory, Bachchan took to social media to praise the team.

“India ! India !! India ..!! #ThomasCup #TeamIndia #Proud,” he posted on Twitter.

Pannu, who is the owner of the badminton franchise Pune 7 Aces, said: “History ! India wins Thomas cup the first time they reached finals ! Take a bow boys ! #ThomasCup @Shettychirag04 @satwiksairaj @PRANNOYHSPRI @srikidambi @lakshya_sen #Vishnu #Krishna.”

South star Venkatesh Daggubati termed the win “extraordinary”.
