When the seniors failed to deliver, the juniors lit up the day with their fighting abilities, but India crashed out of the Sudirman Cup after losing their Group D match 1-4 to Indonesia in Xiamen on Tuesday. PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy lost and the mixed doubles pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto won the only point for India.
Indonesia and Denmark progressed to the quarterfinals with two victories apiece. India and England will play an inconsequential tie on Thursday.
