As expected, multiple Commonwealth Games medallist A. Sharath Kamal and world No. 24 Manika Batra will spearhead the Indian men’s and women’s team events, respectively, at the Paris Olympics. This will be the first-ever participation of Indian squads at the Games.
According to a release from The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), its senior selection committee met in New Delhi on Thursday and picked a six-member squad, besides naming the individuals who would compete in the singles events.
Sharath, Harmeet Desai, and Manav Thakkar will form the three-member men’s team, while Manika Batra, Sreeja Akula and Archana Kamath have been included in the women’s squad.
