India experienced a mixed day at the Thailand Open on Wednesday as P. V. Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth advanced comfortably to the second round, while rising star Ayush Shetty bowed out after a spirited fight.

Former world champion Sindhu barely broke a sweat in her opening-round clash, dismantling Chinese Taipei’s Tung Ciou-Tong 21-9, 21-12 in just 33 minutes. The sixth seed controlled the rallies from the outset, mixing sharp placement with aggressive court coverage to seal one of her quickest wins of the season.
