A quarterfinal exit for Dhruv-Tanisha at the World C'ships

After a promising start in the opening game, nothing went well for the Indians as Chen and Toh came back from a five-point deficit to clinch the opening game with a comfortable scoreline of 21-15.

With this rise in momentum, they just outclassed Dhruv and Tanisha in the second game, forcing them to play some extra aggressive shots, which they failed to do, and delayed their wait for a World C'ships medal for at least a year.
