In a country of over a billion people, it is surprising that we had to wait for
over a 100 years for its first individual gold medal at the Olympics. The story
of Indian sports has been greatly confined to a handful of players who have made
it to the big stage. NDTV brings you some of the stars who shone at the school level
and are ready to become the next big thing.
Here is a look at some of the young stars that never got a glimpse of the limelight,
but have dazzled all those who watched them in their act.
