Praneeth told reporters "This was one of my best tournaments that I ever had in my career. There are lots of learning and positives to take. I think the recent performances have been good". Apparently it was a rare achievement for Praneeth, who became the first Indian male shuttler in 36 years to win a medal in the prestigious tournament.
