New Delhi, India captain Vishal Uppal reflected on a week of fluctuating fortunes as the hosts signed off with a third-place finish in Asia/Oceania Group I of the Billie Jean King Cup.
India will stay in Group I as the top two teams Thailand and Indonesia sealed qualification.
Uppal attributed the slow start against Thailand to the decisive factor behind the team missing out on qualification for World Group Play-offs.
India had entered the tournament with qualification hopes but fell short after early setbacks, particularly against Thailand.
Uppal described the campaign as a 'week of missed chances', pointing to narrow defeats against Indonesia and Thailand where India were in contention but failed to capitalise.
Despite the disappointment, India ended on a high with a strong performance against Korea, underlining the team's potential when firing collectively.
