Men's Doubles
The badminton field at the Tokyo Olympics in men's doubles is limited to 2 pairs per country as long as both the pairs are in the top 8 ranked players else only one pair is eligible to participate as long as they are in the top 16 pairs. Here Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are in prime position to qualify for the Olympics as they are currently placed 8th in the rankings but it is unlikely that India would have a 2nd pair in men's doubles at the Olympics with Manu Atri and Sumeeth Reddy currently in the 35th position.

Women's Doubles
The qualification criteria for the Women's doubles is same as that of men's doubles with only the top 16 pairs eligible to participate. With Ashwini Ponappa and N Sikki Reddy (the highest ranked Indian pair) at the 30th position currently, it would be very difficult for India to have any representation at the women's doubles event at the Tokyo Olympics with just 3 months remaining in the qualification period.
