Chirag Shetty while talking to ANI said, “I have never seen a prime minister calling an entire team after a win. This happens only in India and this thing has inspired us to a new level. Glad that the Prime Minister took time out from his busy schedule and congratulated us Ji. The way we played was fantastic. It’s one of the happiest days of my life. It sounds like a fairytale because beating Indonesia in the Thomas Cup final and that too 3-0, couldn’t be better than that.”
