While the likes of Abhinav Bindra and Dipa Karmakar came close, the wait for a first medal was quite painful for Indian sports lovers.


This after a 119-strong contingent had arrived in Rio with a hope of delivering India's best ever Olympics show. 


It now remains to be seen whether PV Sindhu and wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Narsingh Yadav can add to the tally.

The tweet infuriated several Indians but the most prominent among them was legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan.
