She wanted to chase shuttles, not comfort.

When Haryana’s Devika Sihag wanted to move cities to pursue badminton, her father hesitated. It was her mother who stood firm, believed harder, and made space for a dream to grow.

At just 20, that belief turned into history.

In Bangkok, Devika produced a flawless run to claim her maiden BWF World Tour Super 300 title at the Thailand Masters, beating seeded players and not dropping a single game all week. The win also marked India’s first badminton title of 2026.

This win is not just a trophy. It’s a reminder of how far belief can travel.

Congratulations, Devika Sihag!
