The World No. 32 Sharath, who was playing his first international tournament after a year’s break due to the coronavirus pandemic, couldn’t gain momentum despite showing good resistance in the latter part of the match against the higher-ranked Yun-Ju. With Sharath's loss, the Indian challenge came to an end in the tournament. Earlier Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula also lost their respective final qualifying round matches in the women’s singles category. While Batra lost to World No. 69 Ganna Gaponova 5-11, 6-11, 14-12, 5-11, Akula, who had outclassed World No. 74 Vega Paulina of Chile in the earlier round, made her Russian opponent Mariia Tailkova work hard and almost got the momentum shifted in her favour with a come-from-behind 2-1 lead before losing the tie 9-11, 11-5, 11-6, 6-11, 5-11.

While a long lay off away from the sport due to pandemic, the Doha tournament will be a different experience for all the players as they resume playing at international circuit. "It's an unbelievable feeling to restart over here. I feel the same butterflies in my stomach when I played my first ever senior tournament. Though this time I'm more prepared.

During lockdown , the 20-year-old paddler Mudit worked on his technique and fitness.

India drubbed England in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad to claim the series 3-1 in an emphatic manner. In his four innings, Bairstow could not open his account on three occasions and scored 28 in the first innings of the fourth Test. Vaughan strongly feels such a poor show would result in Bairstow losing his place in the side when the Ashes series comes later this year. "Jonny Bairstow is gone from this Test team. I can't see him batting at three in England this summer or in Australia this winter. I don't think there are really many positives to take from this tour," Vaughan was quoted as saying by 'Express'. "The only ones are that Joe Root, James Anderson and Ben Stokes remain up there among the best players in the world. Jack Leach has enhanced his reputation a bit as well." IND vs ENG: England must learn from defeat: Joe Root Vaughan yet again made a strong pitch for England to focus more on Test cricket and not white-ball series.
