It was also a bad day for Ajay Jayaram, as he was beaten in straight sets 12-21 7-21 by Viktor Axelsen in the mens' singles match.

In the men's doubles category, Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy also failed to win their match as they were outplayed by former Olympic silver medallists Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen.

In a match which lasted around 30 minutes, the Danish pair defeated the Indian duo 21-17 21-15.

With three losses, all eyes were on Sindhu as the Hyderabadi shuttler outplayed Kjaersfeldt comfortably to make it 1-3 in the tie.

The last match of the tie saw another dismal performance from the womens' doubles pair of Ashwini and N. Sikki Reddy.

The Indian pair, however gave some fight before going down to Kamilla Rytter Juhl and Christinna 21-18 15-21 21-23.

India will now take on Indonesia on Wednesday.
