Thomas Cup, or the World Badminton Championshps, is in it’s quarter final stages. Denmark start Favourite versus India. How have the Indians fared so far?

Telegraph reports:

But the Indian shuttlers have also showed much promise, reflected in the way they dispatched the New Zealanders despite missing top player Chetan Anand due to an injury.

National champion Anup Sridhar packed off world No. 33 John Moody while Nikhil Kanetkar, replacing Anand, rose to the occasion and brushed aside Craig Cooper’s challenge. Arvind Bhat was also impressive in his efforts.

The victory against New Zealand would serve as a big boost for India given the fact that they were playing without their top singles player in Anand and doubles specialist in Sanave Thomas, who pulled out of the tournament.

Malaysia take on South Korea in another quarter final. China was dominating defeating Germany and will now meet England. The Uber Cup is also going on, of course.
