Indra Gunawan (badminton)

Indra Gunawan (September 23, 1947, in Surakarta – June 7, 2009, in Jakarta) was an Indonesian badminton player and coach.

In the 1970 Thomas Cup in Kuala Lumpur, he became men's team world champion with the Indonesian squad, as well as 1973 in Jakarta, where he however was not selected in the final.

Malaysia went down 2–3 to Indonesia in the final but Indra will be remembered for his faith and gamble on exposing younger players, especially Lee Tsuen Seng.

Indra was well known for his key part in Malaysian world famous player Lee Chong Wei’s amazing international debut, back when he was head coach for the National team of Malaysia.

Thanks to a good foundation laid by Indra, Chong Wei began his journey as the king of the local badminton circuit.
