It was largely a positive day for the Indian contingent with the likes of PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, Sreeja Akula and Deepika Kumari advancing to the next stage of their respective events on Wednesday, July 31 while Swapnil Kusale scripted history by making it to the men's 50m rifle 3 positions final, a first male athlete from his country to do the same in the event. Sreeja Akula is set to face Yinsha Sun of China, the World No 1 in Round of 16 match while Nishant Dev will compete in his Round of 16 boxinmg encounter in the remaining events of Day 5 for India.
Manika Batra (women's singles table tennis) and Tarundeep Rai (men's recurve archery individual) failed to advance in the two blips India had on Day 5 but Day 6 promises to be an exciting one with three medal events and the likes of PV Sindhu, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, PV Sindhu in action.
