In table tennis, out of the eight Indian players, four are women, with one being from DU, he said, hoping that all of them will perform commendably and win medals for the country.
Dr Anil Kumar Kalkal, director of DU sports council, stated that of the nine players, Manu Bhaker, Amoj Jacob, and Manika Batra also participated in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Ramita Jindal, a current third year BCom (Hons) student at Hansraj College, and Rhythm Sangwan, a second-year English (Hons) student at Lady Shri Ram College, are among those representing the university, added Dr. Kalkal.
