India's ace paddler Sharath Kamal has said that expectations from the Indian team has increased after they ended a 60-year wait for a medal in table tennis by winning two bronze medals (men's team and mixed doubles) at the Jakarta Asian Games last year.

"My goal for 2019 would be to get into Top 20 in the world ranking and of course the next big thing is the 2020 Olympic Games. The two bronze medals at the Asian Games have instilled a lot of belief that we can even win a medal at the Olympics," said Sharath, who is currently ranked 33 in the world, at a media briefing held at 11Sports office yesterday.
