Sudirman Cup | China thrashes India
The Hindu
Second defeat takes team out of quarterfinal race
India’s chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of the Sudirman Cup ended after a 5-0 thrashing from formidable China here on Monday.
It was India’s second consecutive defeat, after losing the Group A opener to Thailand.
Against 11-time champion China, the chances were always slim for the new-look Indian team. The absence of double Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu, London Games bronze medallist Saina Nehwal and men’s doubles pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy left India cutting a sorry figure.
