India Table Tennis Schedule for Asian Games 2023: Full India men’s and women’s schedule, players list, dates, and timing

The Asian Games 2023 are set to begin on September 23 in Hangzhou, with sporting action that promises to delight. Fans will tune in from all across the globe to watch their idols battle it out to finish on the podium.

For the Indian table tennis scene, all eyes will be on paddlers Sharath Kamal and Manika Batra as they lead the men's and women's teams, respectively, at the Asian Games.

Kamal will be joined by compatriots Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, Harmeet Desai, Manav Thakkar, and Manush Shah for the men's team event.

While the team will face tough competition with the likes of China, Japan, and South Korea, a podium finish isn't a far-fetched dream for the Indians.

The women's team will comprise Manika Batra, Sreeja Akula, Sutirtha Mukherjee, Ayhika Mukherjee, and Diya Chitale. The team will go into the Asian Games as the underdogs, with a medal finish looking difficult but not impossible.

Sharath Kamal and Manika Batra will be India's best hope of a podium in the singles category.

Meanwhile, Indian table tennis fans might get to witness the men's doubles duo of Kamal and Gnanasekaran and the mixed doubles duo of Gnanasekaran and Batra bring home a medal.

India has so far won only two medals in table tennis at the Asian Games, both bronze, and both in Jakarta in 2018. It remains to be seen if Indian paddlers can improve on their performance.
