Thank you for joining in!
That's all we have from India at the 2020 Thomas and Uber Cup. Both the men and women exit after having reached the quarterfinals and the search for the next big thing in Indian badminton continues.
We did get a good glimpse of some talented youngsters from the country during the course of the past 4 days, and now it is up to the Badminton Association of India (BAI) to ensure that they do not get lost.
Thank you for joining in for The Bridge's coverage of the 2020 Thomas and Uber Cup. We sign off from the tournaments. Syonara. Shubh Ratri.

India KNOCKED OUT!
With that loss for Dhruv Kapila and Arjun MR, India have been knocked out of the 2020 Thomas Cup. They reached the quarterfinal for the first time in a decade, but can not proceed further.
A loss was expected for India, but this still hurts. Spare a moment for Satwik-Chirag though, who were absolutely fantastic for India.
