India's women's kabaddi team defeated Iran to clinch the gold medal at the Asian Games on Saturday, September 26.
The final challenge was far from easy for India, as Iran tested them on all fronts. However, India managed to hold on to its lead throughout the match, winning the final 37-34.
It is also India's fourth gold medal at the continental tournament and its second consecutive, after winning it in 2022.
India has lost only one final at the Asian Games, which was way back in 2018, when Iran won 27–24, becoming the first team other than India to win a gold medal.
