India had won their first-ever Thomas Cup by defeating Indonesia 3-0 in the finals the previous year. The competition began in 1949. Meanwhile, Bronze medals from the 2014 and 2016 Uber Cups in New Delhi and Kunshan, respectively, are India’s best-ever results in the competition.
India was eliminated from the Uber Cup last year in the quarterfinals after losing 3-0 to Thailand. The women’s team from India qualified for the 2024 after taking home the first-ever gold medal at the Badminton Asia Team Championships in Malaysia earlier in the year.
Since they would be the defending champions going into the competition, the Indian men’s team has automatic qualification for the 2024 Thomas Cup. In 2022, India won the Thomas Cup in Bangkok, Thailand, making history as the nation’s first-ever world champions in the team competition.
