India vs Syria, Intercontinental Cup, Live Streaming: India men's football team is all set to face Syria in it's next Intercontinental Cup match on Monday in Hyderabad.

Paris Paralympics 2024: Complete List Of India's 29 Medal Winners
India's campaign at the Paris Paralympics 2024 concluded with the country fetching a total of 29 medals. On Sunday, Pooja Ojha was the only remaining athlete in action, but she failed to finish inside the top three spots to miss the final berth of the women's kayak single 200m KL1 sprint canoeing event. India, hence, couldn't reach the elusive 30-medal mark at the Paris Games but did manage to better the Tokyo Games tally where the contingent had gathered a total of 19 medals. In the process, India finished the Paris games with record haul of seven gold, nine silver, and 13 bronze medals, set to finish 18th in the overall medals tally.
