India let the opening set slip despite having two set points, with Qatar edging it 28-26 after a tense finish. The Indian team now trail 15-17 in the second set and need a strong fightback to stay alive in the contest.

A tough end to Shapath Bharadwaj’s gold-medal hopes as he becomes the first shooter to bow out of the men’s trap final after hitting 7 of 10 targets. A disappointing finish for the Indian shooter.

The men’s trap final is underway, with Shapath Bharadwaj now taking aim at gold. Can the Indian shooter deliver a big performance and add another medal to India’s tally?

Narender’s gold-medal hopes come to an end as he loses his men’s 90+kg semifinal to Kazakhstan’s Aibek Oralbay. The Indian boxer exits at the last-four stage but leaves with a bronze medal.

A long wait ends in victory for Sumit Nagal! He puts away South Korea’s Seongchan Hong 6-4, 6-0, dominating the second set to seal his place in the third round, where Uzbekistan’s Sergey Fomin awaits.

Ankush Panghal digs deep after a slow start to edge past Uzbekistan’s Fazilddin Erkinboev 4-1 in a thrilling semifinal. The Indian boxer now stands one win away from Asian Games gold!

What a moment for Neeru! She delivers a sensational performance in the women’s trap final, hitting 28 of 30 targets to win India’s first individual gold of the Asian Games 2026. It is also India’s fifth gold medal of the Games!

Neeru continues to set the pace in the women’s trap final! She has scored 14/15 after three series and currently sits at the top of the standings as the medal battle heats up.

Dhakshineswar Suresh keeps his campaign rolling with a 7-5, 7-6(2) victory over Indonesia’s Gunawan in the men’s singles second round. He stays rock-solid on serve and dominates the second-set tie-break to advance!

Parveen puts on a commanding show against China’s Li Shu, sweeping the semifinal 5-0 to book her place in the women’s boxing final. One win away from gold!

Neeru gets off to a flawless start in the women’s trap individual final, hitting all five targets in the opening series. A perfect 5/5 to begin her medal fight!

Another Indian archer through! Kirti defeats Vietnam’s Phuong Thao Hoao in the Round of 32 to book her place in the Round of 16. India now have both Kirti and Kumkum Mohod marching on!

Kumkum Mohod makes a strong start to her women’s recurve individual campaign, sweeping Mongolia’s Urantungalag Bishindee 6-0 in the Round of 32. She advances to the Round of 16.

Archery action is underway! Kirti and Kumkum Mohod begin their women’s recurve individual campaign, with both Indian archers eyeing victories in the Round of 32 and a place in the Round of 16.

India’s men’s trap team of Shapath Bharadwaj, Kynan Chenai and Ahvar Rizvi finishes sixth, missing out on a medal after a disappointing outing in the team event.

All four men’s cricket quarter-finals have been washed out due to rain. So here’s the semi-final schedule:

October 3, 5:30 a.m. IST – Semifinal 1 – Pakistan vs Bangladesh

October 3, 10 a.m. IST – Semifinal 2 – India vs Sri Lanka

Both matches will be held on October 1 with the final on October 3.

India’s women’s squash team blanked Iran 3-0 in their final Pool C match to reach the Asian Games quarterfinals. Tanvi Khanna won after Narges Soltani retired, while Anahat Singh and Joshna Chinappa secured straight-game victories. India had earlier defeated China and Japan to top the group. The team will face Singapore in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

India’s Shapath Bharadwaj remains firmly in contention for a spot in the individual trap final as the final 25-shot series gets underway, carrying a score of 95/100.

Vipin Kumar exited the men’s 66kg competition after losing 0-3 to South Korea’s Yoon Hyeonsu in the Round of 16. Available scoring suggests Vipin conceded two points via a Chala, while the match feed also credits him with a throw. With no broadcast of Kurash, details of the bout remain limited.

India have won silver in the women's trap team event, with Neeru Dhanda, Aashima Ahlawat and Manisha Keer combining for 328 points to finish behind gold medallists China (346).

Neeru was the standout performer with 118, while Aashima and Manisha contributed 106 and 104 respectively. Neeru also finished joint-top in individual qualification alongside Qatar's Ray Bassil, with both shooters on 118, and will now compete in the individual final.

India are 2-0 up against Iran in the women's team squash encounter. Tanvi Khanna put the team ahead after Narges Soltani retired injured in the second game, with Tanvi leading 11-5, 3-0.

Anahat Singh then followed up her individual silver with an 11-5, 11-4, 11-7 win over Fereshteh Eghtedari. Joshna Chinappa, a mixed doubles bronze medallist, is now on court against Najmeh and leads 2-0 after winning 11-1, 11-3, with India just one game away from sealing the tie.

India’s Celestina, Sarita Kumari and Keerthi Rangaswamy Chikka finished sixth in the women’s team sprint qualification with a time of 50.414 seconds, trailing leaders China by 3.742 seconds.

The qualifying round determines the seeding for the next stage, with the sixth-placed team set to face the fourth-placed side. India will therefore take on Chinese Taipei in Heat 1 at 11:30 a.m. today.

India have two archers through to the men's recurve individual quarterfinals, with Dhiraj Bommadevara beating Chinese Taipei's Cheng Hsiang-Hui 6-2, while Neeraj Chauhan pulled off a big 6-4 win over South Korea's multiple Olympic medallist Kim Je Deok.

Dhiraj will face Uzbekistan's Amirkon Sadikov, while Neeraj takes on Bhutan's Dorji Lam in the quarterfinals.
