Bhargav Ram Arigela and Viswa Tej Gobburu secured the opening victory for India in boys doubles. Vennala Kalagotla and Reshika Uthayasooriyan followed with another doubles win.

India advanced from Group D after victories against Hong Kong China, the United Arab Emirates, and Sri Lanka. Rounak Chouhan defeated world junior number five Lam Ka To during singles competition.
