Also, following a 1-7 loss against World No. 1 Australia, the Indian Men's Hockey team will look to bounce back from the result when they take on Spain in their third match of the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday morning.

With an aim to end the 41-year medal drought at the Olympic Games, the Indian Men's Hockey Team had kickstarted their campaign on a winning note having beaten New Zealand 3-2 in a thrilling contest.

However, the World No.4 side couldn't capitalize on the win and went down against Australia in their second match at the quadrennial Games.

Sailors Nethra Kumanan, Vishnu Saravanan will compete in the laser race while sailors KC Ganapathy and Varun Thakkar will participate in the 49er event.

Except for Mary Kom, all other boxers have failed to leave a mark in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics and Lovlina Borgohain will look to bring out her A-game when she takes the field on Tuesday.
