The Indian Cricket Team is currently in England competing against England in a Test match series. All eyes will be on the team’s performance in the ongoing Test series. Kohli’s men made a fabulous comeback at Lord’s to win the Test match and lead the series with a 1-0 margin, with 3 games to go in the series.
After finishing the Tokyo Olympics with seven medals, the expectations will be high from the Indian contingent in the upcoming Tokyo Paralympics 2020. In 2016, India managed to win two gold medals, one silver, and one bronze medal. Let’s hope that they break the previous record and have a successful Paralympics in the coming few weeks.
