Goodbye!

Even in the absence of the great Saina Nehwal, the girls did a commendable job!

It was not smooth sailing by any means for Team India but they managed to eke out the win in the end and that is what matters.

That would boost Ruthvika's confidence by several notches and it would also lift the morale of the entire team! What a win!

Gadde just refocussed after losing her way mid-way through the first game. And that is so good to see.

And with that performance, she has given India the tie win over Hong Kong!!!!
