Thomas Cup is no less than a World Cup: Chirag Shetty
According to Chirag Shetty, winning the Thomas Cup is like winning the World Cup. When the government honours the World Cup winners, they should have given this honour and recognition to my efforts as well. I am not against cricket. We all celebrated India's victory but the state government did not even honour me, let alone give me a cash prize.
