India at 2024 Olympics, Day 4: Manu Bhaker in action in mixed team event; Satwik-Chirag eye top spot

Satwik-Chirag through to quarters

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have become the first Indian men’s doubles pair to reach the quarter-finals in an Olympic Games. The duo will be in action today when they take on Indonesia’s Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Adrianto with the winner topping the pool.

Lakshya Sen kept his hopes of advancing to the next round alive with a straight-games win over Julien Carraggi. The Indian will next face 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Jonatan Christie to decide who will be the sole shuttler from their pool to advance to the knockouts.
