Indian boys reach semis in SAF jr TT

As for the junior girls, cadet boys and girls, the hosts won their first matches with ease.

Unlike in the junior boys section, which is played in two stages, the other team events are decided on a single group league, where the teams will meet each other to assert their supremacy to decide on the 1-3 positions.

The Indian boys team, comprising Sudhanshu Grover, Abhishek Yadav, Vivek Bhargava and R Anandraj, first defeated Bhutan 3-0 and then accounted for Pakistan for a similar margin of score in a three-team group A.

However, coach Sandeep Gupta was not much happy with the boys' performance. He said the boys needed to pull up their socks if they wanted complete domination in the championships.

 

The group leader will now clash in the semi-finals with the team second finishing in group B.

With the late arrival of the Sri Lankan team, the morning matches in group B have been rescheduled.
