Asian Games 2018: Five reasons why India's loss against Korea could be good for kabaddi

#3 A chance for the Indian women to make a bigger mark

The Indian eves have started off on the right foot

While the men's team came into the competition with a lot of hopes on them, the women's team, defending champions of the Asian Games too came in with a whole lot of expectations. Since the emergence of the Pro Kabaddi League for Women and the World Cup, the women's team has seen an infusion of talents across the country, capable of contributing to the team's cause.

In the opening game of the tournament, against Japan, the Indian women came up with an inspiring performance to win 43-12, led by an all-round performance from left corner Sakshi Kumari. In the next match, against Thailand, the Indian eves romped home to a 33-23 win.

For their next two assignments, the eves will go up against Srilanka and Indonesia. If all goes well, the eves will enter the finals and if they manage to win - achieve a rare feat of winning all the games, something the Indian men could not do.

While it is still in the distant future, the eves have an opportunity to make a mark by winning every game and register a hat-trick of Asian Game titles.
