Two Indian paddlers will represent the country on Day 2 of the Paralympics 2021. Sonalben Madhubhai Patel and Bhavina Patel started their medal quest with a loss against their respective opponents in the group stage fixtures on Wednesday.

Bhavina Patel, on the other hand, went down to two-time champion Zhou Ying. The Chinese dominated the match from start to finish and defeated the Indian with ease in a 3-0 scoreline.
