Manika created history, will Sharath follow?
Manika Batra created history by becoming the first Indian paddler to make it to Round 3 at Olympics. Will the most experienced, and highest-ranked Indian Sharath Kamal match the feat?
#ManikaBatra showcased nerves of steel to become the first ever Indian #TableTennis player, male or female, to make it to the last 32 at the #OlympicGames.
