No, he ain't. If you noticed in Saturday's episode - I really looked out for this - there was no major combat b/w a major deva vs a major asura. Indra, Nandi, Agni, Vayu, et al were all winning their combats against pedestrian asuras, while Vritra & Chakri were winning their battles against pedestrian devas. There was no Indra vs Vritra fight.
Actually, there are a few versions about Indra & Vritra battles, and in one of them, Vritra was a giant several times the size of Indra, and he used his Vajra to penetrate him. In another account, Indra made a ruse on advice of Vishnu to make a temporary truce w/ Vritra, where he promised never to kill Vritra by day or night, or w/ any weapon wet or dry. Indra used foam to kill him @ twilight, taking advantage of the fact that Vishnu entered the foam to make it lethal.
But no, no Indra vs Vritra battle in this serial.
Another thing - all the devas had given all their weapons to Kartikeya, so how did they fight? In the story of Durga vs Mahishashur where they did that, it made sense, since other than Durga, nobody did any fighting, but here, how could the Devas have given their major weapons to Kartikeya and still had them available for battle? Another thing - the devas were great archers as well, particularly Indra, but he's always shown fighting w/ a sword.
