Sharath Kamal, Manika Batra to skip opening ceremony

Instead of 20 athletes, 19 will be seen at the opening ceremony with tennis player Ankita Raina replacing the table tennis stars

Madhurika easily lost the first set 6-11 but showed remarkable poise and confidence to spurt to a 9-1 lead in the second.

Manika Batra, who was a part of the first batch that left yesterday, was confident of performing well.

Indian table tennis star Sharath Kamal was shocked seeing some of the names on the Padma Shri awards list.
