Following India’s bronze medal achievement at the 2026 Thomas Cup, badminton player Chirag Shetty celebrated the milestone with a playful take on a popular social media trend.

Shetty shared an Instagram reel where he participated in the trending ‘Kavkaz’ dance, infusing humor and jubilation into the celebration of India’s remarkable performance. The video features Shetty initially dancing solo until his teammates join him in a lively dance as the music intensifies.

In his post, Shetty commented, “I wanted to do something fun to celebrate our bronze! P.S. The others were a bit too serious to join in.”

The video quickly gained popularity, resonating with fans who appreciated the blend of celebration and lightheartedness. Many admired Shetty for revealing a more playful side, highlighting how athletes are increasingly showcasing their personalities beyond the realm of competitive sports.

One viewer remarked, “The cool kids are in the house.” Another added, “Can we take a moment to appreciate his acting skills?”

Supporters also recognized the team’s accomplishment, with one comment stating, “People who complain about bronze while having nothing… how embarrassing.” Another user expressed, “You guys deserve to be celebrated every day for choosing a sport other than cricket! More power to you!!!”

Looking ahead, a fan optimistically noted, “Congratulations… It’s fantastic, but next time we want to see a different color. Prepare well and best wishes!”

This year, India made a significant impact at the Thomas Cup, driven by the reliable performances of the seasoned doubles pair, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. Other players such as H S Prannoy, Lakshya Sen, and Ayush Shetty also contributed crucially to secure a spot on the podium.
