Speaking of starting spots and raiders, it was another quiet night for India's captain Ajay Thakur.

Continuing what has been a string of uninspiring performances thus far at these Games, Ajay was taken off by the coaches just over eight minutes into the contest. And he did not return.

Ajay went in for the opening raid of the match and his lackadaisical approach saw him quickly snapped up by the Thai defence. He put in just one other raid which happened to be an empty raid.

Guess the coaches had seen enough and opted to hook the captain off the mat.
