The nation then saw a double medal in the Men's High Jump T63 Event when Mariyappan Thangavelu and Sharad Kumar finished with the silver and bronze medals, respectively. These three medals have taken India's tally to 10 medals and with more athletes left to compete, the number can just keep going higher.

Also, young badminton player Palak Kohli would be seen in action at the Tokyo Paralympics for the first time and India would expect her to secure a podium finish as well.
