Tokyo Olympics: India's Schedule For August 1; PV Sindhu, Satish Kumar's Quest For Medal

Team India's 'Mission Tokyo' will resume on day 10 of the Olympics with all eyes on ace shuttler PV Sindhu and heavy-weight boxer Satish Kumar as both of them will be playing to bag a medal on Sunday. Apart from PV Sindhu and boxer Satish Kumar, the Indian Men's Hockey Team will take on Great Britain in the Quarter-Final (QF) at the Oi Hockey Stadium North Pitch.

Apart from this, the Indian Women's Hockey Team sailed to the quarter-finals first time in 41 years. India's place in the knock-out stage of the tournament depended on the match between Ireland and Great Britain.
