On the other hand, Jyothi Yarraji and Pavithra Venkatesh aim to upgrade their medal colours from silver to gold in the 60m hurdles and Pole Vault events, respectively. Asian Games medalists Harmilan Bains (1500m), Ajay Kumar Saroj (1500m), and Gulveer Singh (3000m) are also part of the Indian contingent.
