Indian Sports minus Men's Cricket Sania and Narain

Think there is nothing to Indian Sports besides Men's Cricket, Sania and Narain? Wrong. This blog is for giving info on Indian Participation in International Sports Events minus the 3. Not a sportswriter & dont have much knowledge about sports. Since I cant personally cover the matches, am just giving the headlines with the source link, so that you can get more info directly from the source. Would appreciate your comments.

His compatriots K Sasikiran and Surya Shekhar Ganguly squandered advantageous positions to perish in their round two tie-breakers.
