The Indian mixed team was up against England in the final group tie of the 2025 Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China, on Thursday.
India, however, had already exited from the tournament after losing their first two group ties against Indonesia and Denmark with the same scoreline of 1-4.
The team hence decided to use their bench strength in this final tie and fielded young shuttlers like Anupama Upadhyaya and Sathish Karunakaran in the lineup.
