[ad_1] PV Sindhu didn’t take the court but her replacement Anupama Upadhyaya didn’t show any nerves in her win over Tiffany Ho. The second choice doubles pairings – Dhruv Kapila -MR Arjun & Ashwini Ponappa-Tanisha Crasto also won their matches.

After their 1-4 loss to Chinese Taipei in the first league game, India lost 5-0 to Malaysia. The scoreline didn’t have the cloak of respectability despite the presence of singles stars, Sindhu, HS Prannoy, Kidambi Srikanth; or the top doubles pair Satwiksairaj Ran...
