India faced China in the Quarterfinals of the Men's team event at the Asian Table Tennis Championships at Busan, Korea. Amalraj gave a decent fight to Yan An in the third singles.

China fielded a new gen team with Ma Long as the backbone. Sharath lost to Fan Zhendong and Soumyajit to Ma Long.

It is good to see that Indian TT players are consistently meeting world class players. It surely means that progress is being made and they are only being stopped by the best.

Mouma Das put up a spirited fight against World No. 2 Liu Shiwen.
Neha Aggarwal played true to her strength throughout the team event matches.
