Kashyap, who qualified for the London Olympics ahead of Ajay Jayaram, was consistent with his smashes and net play against the 2010 Asian Games gold medallist. &ldquo;He played consistent and was aggressive when he needed to be. I was particularly impressed with his net play,&rdquo; national coach Pullela Gopichand, who is here with the Indian contingent, said. Asked if he planned anything different for Kashyap before the match, Gopichand said: &ldquo;Not really to be honest. We keep changing the strategy from time to time. He kept the shuttle in play just for the right time and it paid off against a top-player.&rdquo; Kashyap next faces 16th-ranked Dane Hans-Kristian Vittinghus, who got the better of Chinese Taipei&rsquo;s Hyun Il Lee 22-10, 21-11.
