Day 14 India's Medal Tally at Asian Games 2023: Gold Breakdown

For her gold in the women's compound individual event, Jyothi Surekha Vennam got the better of South Korean opponent So Chaewon with a score of 149. Meanwhile, Praveen Ojas Deotale beat compatriot Abhishek Verma by two points on his way to the top of the podium.

This marks India's best performance in archery at the Asiad, with a total of nine medals. Not only this, but India managed to stake claim to all five golds available in the compound category.

The Indian team won the gold medal in a rain-marred contest against Afghanistan. Opting to bowl first, India picked some early wickets but some resistance by the Afghanistan middle order saw them being placed at 112/5 after 18.2 overs.

However, the heavens opened up and no further play was possible. Since India were the higher-seeded team, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side was awarded the gold medal.

The women's kabaddi team beat Chinese Taipei for their third Asian Games title. After an intense match, the score read 26-25 in favor of the Indian women.

On the other hand, the men's team defeated Iran 33-29 on their way to reclaiming their title after an unexpected loss in 2018. This marked India’s 8th men’s kabaddi gold, cementing their record as the most successful team at the Asia Games.

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty scripted history today as they stormed to the gold in the men's doubles event. The Indians beat their Korean counterparts 21-18, 21-16 in a match that lasted a little under an hour. This marks India's first-ever badminton gold at the Asiad.
