The Indian women's team's campaign at the World Table Tennis Championship ended with a 0-3 pre-quarterfinals loss to Chinese Taipei in Chengdu, China on Wednesday.
The trio of Manika Batra, Sreeja Akula and Diya Chitale lost their respective singles to concede the Round of 16 tie.
Manika, whose form has been patchy throughout the tournament, was no match to the world number 22 Chen Szu-Yu as she suffered a disappointing 0-3 (7-11, 9-11, 3-11) defeat.
With India trailing 0-1, Birmingham Commonwealth Games mixed doubles gold medallist Sreeja couldn't get past world number 35 Ching I-Ching and went down 1-3 (8-11, 11-5 6-11, 9-11).
