<p>India failed to make the quarterfinals of the Sudirman Cup mixed team badminton championship after suffering a 1-4 thrashing at the hands of Indonesia in their second group match here on Monday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Parupalli Kashyap was the lone Indian who could offer some solace by registering a 21-18, 21-14 victory over Rumbaka Dionysius Hayom in the men’s singles category, even as PV Sindhu along with other Indians were outclassed by the Indonesians at the Putra Stadium. <br /><br />India had already lost two ties before World number 11 Kashyap managed to prevail over a lower ranked opponent in a 44-minute battle. <br /><br />The Group A match began with the men’s doubles contest, which Akshay Dewalkar and Pranaav Chopra lost in straight games 13-21, 10-21 to the pair of Angga Pratama and Rian Agung Saputra in just 24 minutes. <br /><br />In the second tie, World number 13 Sindhu failed to live up to the expectations as she went down tamely to Fanetri Lindaweni, ranked 15th, 15-21, 10-21 in women’s singles.<br />Without Saina Nehwal, there was a lot of pressure on the 17-year-old Sindhu, who on Sunday gave a tough fight to world number three Wang Yihan.<br /><br />But on Monday she failed to show the same spirit and surrendered without a fight in a 36-minute contest. <br /><br />The women’s doubles pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and Pradnya Gadre also lost 19-21, 20-22 to Greysia Polii and Nitya Krishinda Maheswari in 37 minutes.<br /><br />In the mixed doubles category, the combo of Arun Vishnu and Aparna Balan were outplayed by Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir 13-21, 14-21 in 29 minutes.<br /><br />Saina did not take part in the tournament as she is nursing a hairline fracture in her toe, while doubles player Jwala Gutta pulled out for not finding a suitable partner.<br />India had earlier lost 0-5 to China in their opening Group A match on Sunday.</p>
