Another day of mixed emotions for the Indian contingent at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with the shooters enduring a dismal run in the mixed team event. Debutant boxer Lovlina Borgohain and the Indian men's hockey team were the only positives for India on Day 4 of the action with the pugilist advancing to the quarters with a 3-2 win, while Manpreet Singh-led side bounced back from one of their worst Olympic defeats, 1-7 against Australia, to beat Spain 3-0. Meanwhile, there were two heartbreaks as shuttlers Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy crashed out of men's doubles despite winning their second game in the group stage, while India's lone hope in Table Tennis, Achanta Sharath Kamla lost to legendary Ma Long, the reigning Olympic and world champion in round 3. 

Indian women's hockey team will kick off the proceedings on Wednesday morning, with the hope of grabbing their first win in the competition when they take on Great Britain. India had lost their first tow matches to stand bottom of the table. The focus will then shift to Rio Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, who will be playing his second group game. Fellow shuttler B Sai Praneeth will begin his campaign later in the afternoon in the men's singles category. Indian archers, meanwhile, will have their final shot at a medal as the individual events begin on Wednesday morning with Tarundeep Rai, Pravin Jadhav and Deepika Kumari in action.
