Boxer Vikas Krishan and judoka Shushila Devi had forgettable outings as they bowed out in their opening round clashes. Pistol marksman Saurabh Chaudhary and rifle ace Elavenil Valarivan also missed out on the opportunity to bag top honours in Tokyo. 

Sharath Kamal-Manika Batra pair crashed out of table tennis mixed doubles but Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy left a mark by stunning Chinese Taipei pair of Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin. Paddlers Batra and Sutirtha Mukherjee also made promising starts to their women's singles campaign.
