The Olympics is just around the corner and it's that time of the summer when the Indian sporting frenzy will for a change not revolve around the Virat Kohlis, the Rohit Sharmas or the Jasprit Bumrahs. There is a story to be told from every nook and corner of the country, there is a potential history to be made as the Indian contingent lands in Tokyo ahead of the Olympic games.
The Tokyo-bound Indian contingent has more than 120 athletes. This is already India's largest-ever contingent of athletes at the Olympics and it wouldn't be a surprise if the country bags their highest medal tally this year as they are competing in a grand total of over 80 medal events.
The summer games are set to commence from July 23 and culminate on August 8 and will be played behind closed doors.
