Current world champion Pramod Bhagat won a historic gold medal in the badminton men’s singles SL3 class to continue the country’s medal rush at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Bhagat, who has also tasted success on the continental stage, got the better of Daniel Bethell of Great Britain in the final.

Bhagat was competing in the SL3 classification, which features athletes with lower limb impairment.

Badminton is making its debut at the Paralympics in this edition, meaning Bhagat became the first Indian to win gold in the sport.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the landmark win:

Pramod Bhagat has won the hearts of the entire nation. He is a Champion, whose success will motivate millions. He showed remarkable resilience & determination. Congratulations to him for winning the Gold in Badminton. Best wishes to him for his future endeavours. @PramodBhagat83
