Adding the cherry on top of the cake was the men's relay team. Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amol Jacob, Muhammed Ajmal, and Rajesh Ramesh raced to the top of the podium with a time of 3:01.58.
Boxer Lovlina Borgohain claimed silver in the women's 75 kg category. Meanwhile, Kishore Kumar Jena, Harmilan Bains, Abinash Sable, and the women's 4x400m relay team also ended the day with second-place finishes.
Bringing in the bronze medals for India today were squash duo Anahat and Abhay Singh, boxer Parveen, wrestler Sunil Kumar, and the 35 km race walk mixed team.
In other highlights of Indian results at the Asian Games for the day, the Indian men's hockey team made it to the final after crushing South Korea 5-3.
Squash star Saurav Ghoshal qualified for his first-ever Asiad final after cruising past his opponent in three straight games. The squash pair of Dipika Karthik and Harinder Pal Sandhu have also set themselves up for the gold medal match.
