India men began their campaign in the Thomas Cup badminton championships with a win in their opening group stage match, beating Canada 4-1 in Horsens, Denmark, on Friday.

The 2022 champions got off to a poor start after Lakshya Sen lost the opening match of the tie to Victor Lai, but the men's doubles duo of Satiwksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty levelled the tie by beating Jonathan Bing Tsan Lai and Kevin Lee in straight games.
