Incheon: Leading Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap was knocked out of the 17th Asian Games as he lost his men's singles pre-quarterfinal to World No.1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia here Friday.
It was a tough outing for the reigning Commonwealth Games champion who has never even won a game, let alone a match against the top seeded Malaysian.
