Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh: Another promising shot is Manu Bhaker who will be partnering with Sarabjot Singh to fight for bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team category. Manu, who is already a celebrity, now gets the chance to be the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics session. Sarabjot Singh himself is a good shooter and has the talent and the capacity to perform well under pressure though he didn’t make it to the finals of single event. Combined together they are a strong pair to contend for a top three position.

Indian Men’s Hockey Team: Indian men’s hockey team is in a desperate need of a victory against Ireland after a drab draw against Argentina. Establishing a victory is crucial for India as the team finds itself in a competitive group with strong teams such as Australia and Belgium.

Tuesday will be a very important match for them in order to assert themselves as real contenders for medals.

Balraj Panwar: In rowing Balraj Panwar will be participating in the men’s singles sculls quarter final. The opportunity to win a medal in this category rests on Panwar’s shoulders since he is the only Indian rower in the competition.
