Eyes are on Neeraj Chopra and PV Sindhu to win medals. There’s also pressure on the hockey team to win gold as it won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games.

Sharath Kamal, 42, who has been the flagbearer of Indian table tennis for the last two decades, will be carrying the Indian flag at the opening ceremony. This will be his fifth Olympics.
