Indian sailor Nethra Kumanan, who became the first Indian female sailor to qualify for the 2021 Tokyo Games, feels that this is just the beginning of her journey. Apart from her, Vishnu Saravanan, KC Ganapathy and Varun Thakkar qualified for the Olympics, making it India’s largest-ever contingent.

Nethra Kumanan’s coach Tamas Eszes feels that the sailor will perform well at the 2024 Paris Olympics, given the fact athletes in the discipline take a minimum of two appearances to do well. With four sailors qualified for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, this is India’s strongest contingent at the Games.

Tokyo-bound paddler Gnanasekaran Sathiyan believes that the experience he gained from the Polish league will help him develop as a player. The 38th ranked player in the world will feature in the upcoming 2021 Olympics, along with the likes of Sharath Kamal, Manika Batra, and Sutirtha Mukherjee.

It turned out to be an edge of the seat thriller between Punjab and Rajasthan and there was no dearth of interesting happenings throughout the game. One such thing was the appearance of blue colour on one side of the ball as evident during the Buttler's dismissal by Richardson in the 8th over.
