London: India's badminton campaign in the Olympics commenced on a disappointing note as the mixed doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V Diju went down in straight games to Indonesia's Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir in their opening group match here.
Jwala and Diju lost 16-21 12-21 in just 25 minutes at the Wembley Arena.
In a lopsided contest, Jwala and Diju failed to be in the lead even once in the entire duration of the Group C encounter.
India\'s duo of Jwala Gutta and V Diju lost their opening mixed doubles Group C match to the Indonesian pair.
