Day 5 was a mixed bag for the Indian contingent at the Asian Games. India could secure only three medals on Thursday, as against eight on Wednesday. Nevertheless, there were bright spots like the trio of Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Singh Cheema and Shiva Narwal winning gold in the 10m air pistol team event. On Friday, September 29, India will look to revive the medal rush, with the tennis men's doubles duo of Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni contesting the gold medal match against the Chinese Taipei pair of Jason Jung and Yu Hsiou Hsu. Meanwhile, the pair of Rohan Bopanna and Rutuja Bhosale will vie for a spot in the mixed doubles final. (Medal Tally | Schedule | Streaming | Full Coverage | More Sports News)
