Para-badminton star Pramod Bhagat and para-table tennis champion Bhavina Patel will lead the Indian contingent as flag bearers at the opening ceremony of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games.
The two accomplished athletes will carry the Indian flag, representing the country’s determination, resilience and growing strength in para-sports on the continental stage.
Bhagat, one of India’s most successful para-badminton players, has consistently showcased his class and competitive spirit at the highest level. Patel, meanwhile, has emerged as a leading figure in Indian para-table tennis, inspiring athletes with her remarkable journey and achievements.
Their selection as flag bearers is a recognition of their contributions to Indian sport and the inspiration they provide to aspiring para-athletes across the country.
As India prepares to compete in the multi-sport event in Japan, Bhagat and Patel will lead the contingent into the opening ceremony, carrying the hopes and aspirations of a nation proud of its para-sporting champions.
Two champions. One flag. One nation united in pride.
