Manu Bhaker played a crucial role in securing two of these medals, while Sarabjot Singh and Swapnil Kusale delivered outstanding performances to ensure India’s presence on the medal tally.

Disappointments in Badminton and Boxing

Despite high expectations, Indian athletes faced disappointments in badminton and boxing, with none managing to secure a medal. The contingent is now looking ahead with hope for more success in the upcoming events.
