Indian men’s badminton team created history by bagging the Thomas Cup title in Bangkok Sunday. India’s victory over 14-times champion Indonesia has spread cheers across the country. Praises have been pouring in for the team from across India and the world.
The dairy brand Amul has also joined the bandwagon and shared a quirky topical on social media. In the topical, the Amul girl stands with open arms, showing the victory sign, and holding a bat. She is surrounded by eight joyful badminton team members. The colours of the Indian national flag in the background add to the effect of the topical, which says “Thomaska Cup!” and “Goodies Bhi, Baddy Bhi.”
“India stuns Indonesia 3-0 in World Men Team Championship in Badminton!” read the caption.
