India's last remaining pair Yuki Bhambri and Dhakshineswar Suresh bow out in the quarterfinals, losing in straight games, 6(5)-7, 3-6, to Chinese Taipei's Ho Chenjui and Hsu Yu-hsiou.

The duo lost the first set, which went to a tie-break, before the Taipei duo pulled away in the second with an early break, ending India's men's doubles campaign.

Earlier, the Indian pair of Anirudh Chandrasekar and N. Sriram Balaji had also faced a quarterfinal exit, meaning that India will not have a men's doubles medal since 1998.
