India shuttler HS Prannoy`s dream run at the BWF World Championships ended as he lost 21-18, 13-21, 14-21 to Thailand’s World No. 3 Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the semi-final to sign off with a bronze medal at Copenhagen, Denmark, on Saturday.
However, the win extended India`s record of having at least one medallist in the tournament since 2011. While Prannoy, ranked World No. 9, did not clinch the coveted gold, he became only the fifth Indian men`s singles player to win a World Championships medal. Kidambi Srikanth (silver), Lakshya Sen (bronze), B Sai Praneeth (bronze) and Prakash Padukone (bronze) are the other medallists.
