Indian Sports Update: From Paris Olympics to Paralympics

Hello and welcome to ESPN India’s daily blog, where we bring you all the updates from the dynamic world of Indian sports, including news, scores, schedule, results and commentary.

After a very busy fortnight with the Paris Olympics, things should be a bit quieter now comparatively, but there are still some ramifications from Paris to deal with.

There’s also the build-up to the Paralympic Games, which begin in a couple of weeks, and India have already been rocked by a big blow.

What’s on today?

Football: The Durand Cup continues across India,

Chess: Indian grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa is taking part in the Saint Louis Rapid and blitz chess tournament.

Apart from the regular updates, we’ll get you more reactions from Indian athletes who came back after participating at the Paris Olympics as well as those participating in the upcoming Paralympics.

What happened yesterday?

Kabaddi: The two-day Pro Kabaddi League 2024 auctions came to an end with Sachin Tanwar being made the most expensive player of the 2024 PKL auction, as he was bought for Rs. 2.15 crore by the Tamil Thalaivas.

Wrestling: Vinesh Phogat hinted that a reversal of her retirement may be possible, following the rejection of her appeal to be awarded a silver medal at the Paris Olympics.

Paralympic Games: India’s top athletes will be back in action in two weeks from now when the Paralympics get underway in Paris on August 28. India are sending their largest-ever contingent of 84 athletes and the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) is hopeful of the contingent going past the 19 medals India had won at the Tokyo Paralympics.
