An excellent comeback win by Indians against their Thai opponents ... After losing the first 2 matches of Sai and Srikanth in their singles matches, we were under pressure ... But Arjun and Dhruv won their doubles match to give Indians their first point ... A young Lakshya made it 2-all with a close straight games win over Avihingsanon ... In the decider, our coach took a gamble and introduced the first-time pairing of Chirag and Srikanth ... They defeated a Thai pair in three games for a memorable win for the Indian team ... In the semis, we are facing the top-seed Indonesian team.
