India will be actively campaigning for more silverware as they are set to compete in 11 events at the Hangzhou Asian Games on October 3. These events include archery, men’s cricket, bridge, canoeing, women’s hockey, soft tennis, sport climbing, boxing, squash, athletics and sepak takraw.
India’s archery campaign at the 2023 Asian Games will be led by the Olympian, Atanu Das. Abhishek Verma, a silver medallist at the 2014 Incheon Games, will also be competing at the Hangzhou to secure a podium finish. Both of these archery veterans will play a senior role as the majority of the squad features young and upcoming talents.
India has also been historically good at canoeing with their best performance coming in the 1998 Asian Games where they bagged three golds. Their canoeing campaign in Jakarta in 2018 wasn’t quite as illustrious as they narrowly missed out on first-place finishes.
India will also be competing in the men’s cricket competition in Hangzhou. The Men in Blue will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad who have been in phenomenal form lately. His recent spoils came against Australia in the first ODI of their bilateral series that saw Ruturaj smash 71 runs in 77 balls. Needless to say, the batter is ready to lead India to their first-ever gold in men’s cricket at the Asian Games.
