India's top men's doubles badminton players, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, have voiced their concerns regarding the lack of recognition for the sport following their historic achievements in the Thomas Cup. The world No. 4 pair, who recently secured a bronze medal at the Thomas Cup in Denmark, expressed disappointment over the muted response to their 2022 Thomas Cup gold and the recent bronze medal. Chirag highlighted the importance of initiating a conversation about badminton's visibility in India, stating that they deserved a more significant celebration for their accomplishments. Satwik echoed this sentiment, noting that badminton struggles for mainstream attention compared to more popular sports like cricket. Both players emphasized the unique emotional experience of team events in badminton, which are rare in a sport primarily focused on individual competition. Looking ahead, they expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming Asian Games, aiming to achieve further success and recognition for badminton in India.
