India is one among the 119 nations that will participate in the FISU World University Games 2023, which is scheduled to take place across venues in Chengdu, China from July 28 to August 8.

The multi-sport event was originally scheduled to take place in 2021, but was postponed for two successive years due to the COVID pandemic. A total of 268 events in 18 sports will be held in the FISU World University Games 2023.

India has sent over 200 athletes, including stars like Asian sprint hurdles champion Jyothi Yarraji, Commonwealth Games bronze medallist high jumper Tejaswin Shankar and Asian championship 20km walk silver medallist Priyanka Goswami.

The Indian competitors list also includes three Olympians in the form of shooters Manu Bhaker and Elavenil Valarivan as well as swimmer Srihari Nataraj.

The Indian contingent would have been much bigger but the Government pulled out the eight-member wushu team at the last minute over visa issues. However, the men's and women's volleyball teams have been sent by India.

Badminton, tennis, table tennis, archery, fencing and judo are among the other events where Indians will be in action. Here is a look at the complete list of Indians participating at the FISU World Games 2023:
