The Indian unit was shown the exit door at the Badminton Asia Junior Mixed Team Championships on Monday as they went down to Japan. The contingent representing the tricolour fought hard but ultimately succumbed to a 104-110 against the former champions Japan in the quarterfinals of the event in Indonesia. In a closely contested tie under the relay scoring system, India made a strong comeback after a narrow 11-9 loss in the opening match. The boys' doubles pair of Bhargav Ram Arigela and Viswa Tej Gobburu earned India their first point, followed by a composed victory from the girls' pair of Vennala Kalagotla and Reshika Uthayasooriyan, putting India ahead at 33-26. Reshika then teamed up with Bhavya Chhabra to maintain the lead at 44-35, and Rounak Chouhan extended the cushion with another solid performance. India led for most of the tie, but Japan, the 2023 champions, surged ahead in the final stretch, winning the last five matches in a row. Several of those games were closely contested, demonstrating the grit shown by the Indian squad. India topped Group D with victories over Hong Kong China, United Arab Emirates, and Sri Lanka but narrowly lost to Japan in the quarterfinal of the tournament in Solo.

India Thrash UAE To Book Badminton Asia Junior Mixed Team Championships Quarters
Last Updated: India reached the quarterfinals of the Badminton Asia Junior Mixed Team Championships with a 110-83 win over UAE. India secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Badminton Asia Junior Mixed Team Championships with a commanding 110-83 victory over the United Arab Emirates in their Group D clash on Saturday in Indonesia. This win follows India's impressive opening-day triumph over Sri Lanka on Friday. With Hong Kong China also achieving two wins from two matches, both teams have now confirmed their progression to the knockout stages. The two sides will compete on Sunday to determine the Group D winners. The tournament uses a relay scoring format, where teams race to 110 points across 10 matches. India started strongly, with girls' singles player Rujula Ramu defeating Mysha Khan 11-5, followed by the mixed doubles pairing of C Lalramsanga and Taarini Suri extending the lead to 22-11. India maintained the lead throughout the contest, despite spirited resistance from the UAE in a few matches. At the halfway stage, the scoreboard read 55-41 in India's favour. US Open finalist Tanvi Sharma then delivered a clinical performance to stretch the lead to 66-46 against Madhumita Sundarapandian. Lalramsanga returned to the court, this time partnering Reshika U in the second mixed doubles rubber, where they outplayed Adithya Kiran and Mysha Khan 11-5, taking India further ahead to 77-51, effectively putting the team in the driver's seat. India will now look to maintain their momentum and finish top of the group with a win against Hong Kong China on Sunday. In 2011, India achieved their best result in the mixed team event by securing a bronze medal. Last year, they narrowly missed out on a medal, losing 2-3 to Malaysia in the quarter-finals. The tournament features 17 teams divided into four groups – three groups with three teams each and one group with five teams. Each team plays against every other team in their group once, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals. This year's championships adopted a 110-point relay system. Each tie consists of 10 matches: two each in men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. The team that reaches 110 points first is declared the winner. There is no playoff for third place; both losing semi-finalists receive bronze medals. (With inputs from Agencies) view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
