Ultimate Table Tennis: Rising table tennis stars Manav Thakkar and Archana Kamath are thrilled to be playing in their first-ever Olympics, eager to support their experienced teammates in the team event at Paris Games.

For the first time in history, India will compete in the men’s and women’s team championships at the Olympics. The two young guns will have to play to their perfection if India have to punch above their weight against the top teams.

Indian women’s team will face Romania in the round of 16 on Monday, while the men’s team will take on China in their opening match on Tuesday.
