The BCCI secretary also wished the Olympic-bound contingent.

India will be sending 117 athletes to Paris, their second biggest contingent after Tokyo's 121. 47 female and 70 male athletes will be part of the Indian contingent in Paris. India are hoping to come back from the Summer Games with a record-breaking medal count. Indian athletes had their best-ever medal haul at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics where they returned with seven medals including a historic track and field gold medal from Neeraj Chopra.

The athletics contingent is the biggest for India with 29 players in fray with eyes once again on Neeraj who will be aiming to defend his gold medal.
