There could potentially be a mega medal rush for India early on Friday morning, 29 September. The Indian contingent will have an early start with race walking events, tennis, and shooting finals clubbed together in the opening session of the day. The Indian men’s and women’s badminton team will be playing their quarter-final matches and if they win there, they will secure the bronze medal.
India added 3 more medals to their tally that reached 25 at the end of Day 5 at Asian Games 2023. India won a Gold medal in shooting, silver in wushu, and a historic bronze medal in equestrian, while two tennis teams assured themselves of medals. It was a mixed day in boxing but the day ended with Nishant Dev making his intentions clear with a knockout punch that is worthy of featuring in the highlights reel of India’s campaign in Hangzhou.
India’s campaign in football came to an end as the men’s team lost to Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the Round of 16 match. On the other hand, the men’s hockey team inched closer to the semi-final spot, clinching their third successive win – a 4-2 win over defending champions Japan.
