Both the Indian swimmers failed to qualify for the finals.
Earlier, Sajan had surged ahead of the pack to top Heat 2, while Mani topped Heat 1.
In the men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay, the Indian team of Sajan Prakash, Virdhawal Khade, Anshul Kothari, Aaron Dsouza finished top of Heat 1 by clocking 3:25.17, but chances of making the final with this score were grim as this was an unseeded heat.
