Asian Games 2023: Probable players to win medals for India today (October 5)

The 12th day of the Asian Games 2023 will begin shortly on Thursday, October 5. India have won 81 medals at this year's continental meet so far. The Indian athletes have an opportunity to take the medal tally close to 100 today.

Multiple Indian athletes will be in action later today in Hangzhou. All eyes will be on archers Jyothi Surekha Vennam and Ojas Pravin Deotale. They won a gold medal as a mixed team yesterday.

Today, Jyothi will team up with Aditi Gopichand Swami and Parneet Kaur in the Compound women’s team event in archery. Meanwhile, Ojas will join forces with Abhishek Verma and Prathamesh Jawkar in the men's event.

Wrestler Antim Panghal could also win a medal for India today at the Asian Games 2023. The other wrestlers who will be in action today include Narinder Cheema, Naveen, and Pooja Gehlot.
