India start on positive note in Asian squash

India began with its match against Korea and as per the order of play, the third player Aryaman Adik, playing his first match for India came on view. Velavan Senthilkumar was the next to come. 

He started off well, had a good second game but in the third game things went close before the Korean, Handong Ryu suffered a bleeding injury. This came as a distraction for the Indian as he lost that game but regained touch in the fourth to give India a winning 2-0 margin. 

Later in the day, India swamped Japan 3-0. The only change in the side was Ranjit Singh coming in for for Adik and played the first match which proved an easy affair against Shota Ogata. Velavan then ousted Kota Matsumoto and Abhay Singh set aside the challenge of Naoki Sone.
