Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Angad Vir Singh are lagging in the Men's Skeet qualification event and will have to fare better if they want to make it to the final of the event.

Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy will look to move a step closer to the medal rounds in the Men's Double Badminton event at Olympics 2021. The Indian Archery team, meanwhile, face a tough challenge against Kazakhstan.

Ashish Kumar will meet Tuoheta Erbieke in the Men's Middleweight Round of 32. He faces a strong opponent and might struggle to get through to the next round. Meanwhile, the Indian paddlers will also look to move a step closer to the medal rounds.

To summarise, Indian athletes in action on Day 3 are unlikely to see a medal added to the team's tally on Monday at the Tokyo Olympics.
