India's dual Olympic medal-winning shooter Manu Bhaker on Monday expressed gratitude to the Indian sporting fans for their constant support and unwavering faith in her abilities over the years.

"It is an honour and privilege to be named as India's flagbearer for the Closing Ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Leading the outstanding Indian contingent with the tricolour in my hands with millions around the world watching is a truly humbling opportunity and one that I will cherish forever. I am grateful to The IOA for considering me worthy of this honour, and I look forward to raising the Indian flag with immense pride. Jai Hind!"
