Indian badminton ace Kidambi Srikanth has said the title triumph over 14-time Thomas Cup champions Indonesia would not have been possible without the contingent showing "pure resilience and mental strength".
In a heartfelt letter posted on twitter on Monday, the 29-year-old World Championship silver medallist, who won the deciding third rubber against world No. 9 Jonatan Christie 21-15, 23-21 to earn a historic maiden title for India in the prestigious team event, said, "I don`t even know where to even begin this. The journey to this podium is nothing short of once in a lifetime experience. This has been a result of pure resilience and mental strength."
