I think Sania Mirza can use her protected ranking to get into WD. Apart from her, I don’t think anyone is close to qualification. But, in case a lot of players skip the Olympics, which is always a real possibility, then we may sneak in a couple of more players.

Neel Roy dips below 23s  with a 22.95s in 50mFS in a recent event. He becomes 2nd Indian to do so after Virdhawal.

I don't fully understand the qualification for Doubles, but if preference is to given for doubles pairs till 24th rank then pair of Rohan Bopanna (40) and Divij Sharan (74) should qualify. Sania Mirza qualifies on virtue of protected ranking of 9 and she will most likely pair with Ankita Raina. Then need to check if combined ranking of Bopanna and Mirza is in top 15 for Mixed Doubles.

Till 24th rank, quotas will be allocated based on combined ranking, which puts singles and doubles ranking at par.. After that till quota of 86 athletes per gender is reached, same formula will be used. After that priority will be given to teams with players already qualified in Singles. 

 

Assuming that Bopanna/Sharan do qualify, don't think combined ranking of 49 would be enough to qualify for Mixed Doubles.
