Prannoy's medal was India's first medal in men's individual badminton after almost four decades.
"Asian games come once in four years it is a prestigious tournament, and it is important to win a medal for India. The country trusts players to do well so it was a big inspiration and motivation to do well and bring a medal for the country. It is quite a joyous occasion to bring a medal in the men's singles category after 40 years," Prannoy told ANI.
Prannoy lost to China's Li Shifeng 16-21, 9-21 in the badminton men's singles semifinal.
Prannoy started well in the first game as he took an 11-10 lead against the Chinese. However, it did not take long for Shifeng to seal it as he raced around the court. The Indian player lost the second game by a bigger margin.
India saw their best performance in the Asian Games and won 107 medals including 28 gold.
