Will India win gold medal in Tokyo Olympics? These are the main contenders
India has secured a lot of quotas in the Tokyo Olympics, out of which 15 quotas have been secured in shooting only. This in itself is a great achievement. The players aiming for India have a mix of experience and youthful zeal that has never been seen before. Most of the players in the Indian contingent will be participating in the Olympics for the first time.

Talking about the young players who are ready to show their stamina in various shooting events by coming to the shooting range in Tokyo with full enthusiasm, then these include Manu Bhaker, Saurav Chaudhary, Divyansh Singh Pawar, Aishwarya Pratap Singh and Yashaswini Deswal. These five young shooters can target medals.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
