India registered a stunning 4-1 win over former champions Indonesia in the Sudirman Cup mixed team badminton championship at Gold Coast in Australia. Yesterday's victory has kept India's hopes alive for a knockout berth. 
After suffering an embarrassing 1-4 defeat against Denmark in the opening match, India desperately needed to win this contest against fifth seeds Indonesia. India rode on stupendous performances by K Srikanth, P V Sindhu and the the experienced Ashwini Ponnappa to outwit Indonesia for the first time in team events.

Both Denmark and India now have won one match each and the knockout berths would be decided only after clash between Indonesia and Denmark. If Indonesia defeats Denmark, it will come down to the number of matches, games and points as only two can qualify for the knockout stage from Group 1 D. 
India, ranked ninth, have managed to reach the knockout stage of the tournament only once during the 2011 edition, while in the last two editions they couldn't even cross the group stage.
