@nitinsankerI only read the table tennis preview from your end. And I must say it is not a comprehensive one.

 

You mentioned about beating Chinese opponents in the recent past. But the point here is that this is the first time that the Indian contingent is without their powerhouse West Bengal. And beating those Chinese opponents have huge contributions from them be it Sutirtha or Ayhika

 

Coming to match against Romania, Manika Batra has beaten their top ranked player thrice in their last 4 encounters. Even India's next 2 ranked players like Sreeja Akula and others are better ranked than Romanian counterparts.

 

One important aspect is the controversial choice of Manika Batra's doubles partner selection , the girl from Karnataka - Kamath

 

The team will be bolstered by the presence of their former and lucky Italian coach

 

The team will want to give a fitting tribute to the old horse and flag bearer Achanta Sharath Kamal. The team would like to play for him.

 

Why can't the boys take a cue from the girls to play bravely against China? Imagine what will be the team morale if they conquer China in the 1st round.

 

Last but not the least , Harmeet Desai is in the form of his life. We can expect the unexpected from him even if he is the only few to be playing the preliminary round.

 

Bro ...  You said my report was not comprehensive that the Chinese defeats were primarily by sutirtha and ayhika ....

 

From the world team championship 

 

 After Manika brushed aside Xiao 3-0 (11-9, 11-2, 11-4), Sreeja took down the southpaw Zhang 3-1 (11-6, 11-13, 11-6, 11-3).

Yes I was talking about the recent season.  2024..

 

Ayhika took down world no. 1 and Sreeja Akula and Manika Batra separately took down World no. 2.

 

The report was not comprehensive because it did not cover many important points including Archana Kamath's selection criteria, Coach Masimo's inclusion, Achanta Sharath Kamal's leadership role, etc.

First of all , I expressed appreciation for your review through forum like feature.

 

I said that the table tennis report didn't cover many important aspects . So not comprehensive.

 

And I said that the recent domination of Indian girls against the Chinese girls had SIGNIFICANT contribution from the West Bengal girls. 

 

In Asian Game's, Sutirtha-Ayhika defeated Chinese World No. 2 and in February Manika batra defeated Chinese World no. 1. 

 

I never disagreed with Sreeja Akula or Manika Batra's win against the Chinese opponents.

 

I understand that there is space constraint but that doesn't justify missing important points in a report.

 

Thank you.

Good day for us in terms of shooting & winning a medal but overall I would say we had a mixed day. 
 

We have lost 2 sports after Day 2  i.e Swimming & Tennis 

 

We are still active in 14 sports. 
 

We started our campaign with 110 athletes in 16 sports ( without alternates) 

 

We have lost 7 athletes today ( 2 Swimming , 2 Shooting & 3 Tennis) 

 

We still have 103 active athletes & have 1 🥉 in our Kitty. 
As of Day 2 we are 22nd on the overall Medal table .

India trails 0-1 (HT) against Argentina.

 

When we're going to learn to score penalties. It has become a perennial problem :cry:

Also :IND is playing too much aerial balls with unsuccessful trappings

    • In my opinion, Trump is a very difficult opponent: he has hard electorate, not voters and if he does something wrong, his electorate forgives him. Secondly, he is an experienced man with a TV past who is doing great in the campaign. He is old but his health is good and it`s hard to beat someone like that. In 2020, Biden won mainly because of Covid and Trump's terrible decisions (Biden also won not by that much then). In my opinion, if the Republicans had put up a polite and well-mannered politician like Mitt Romney, Harris would have had a much easier time winning against him. If Trump were weak, he wouldn`t be allowed to run again after his defeat in 2020.
