Former World No: Former World No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth was ousted in the men's singles second round after getting down in straight games to Hong Kong's Ng Ka Long on Thursday.

Kidambi Srikanth ignited the Indian spirits with a thrilling victory over Jonathan Christie, but alas, his journey met an early end in the second round against Hong Kong's Ng Ka Long.

As the sun set on the singles campaign, disappointment lingered with the exits of HS Prannoy, Lakshya Sen, and the absence of PV Sindhu. Akarshi Kashyap fought valiantly but succumbed in the women's singles first round, leaving Indian fans yearning for more.
