The tennis players, led by coach Zeeshan Ali, headed straight to Palembang from Singapore.

Indian contingent's Chef de mission (CDM) Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan and two deputies CDMs were also present during the occasion.

The officials from the organizing committee greeted the officials and wished luck to the Indian athletes.
