India find themselves in the No. 6 spot on the medal tally with 11 medals after two days in the ongoing 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. Shooting as expected has been leading the race, the discipline which India missed dearly last year in Birmingham at the Commonwealth Games with the likes of rowing and cricket also contributing. Six medals were added to the tally for India on the second day on Monday, September 25 with a Gold each in shooting and cricket and a couple of bronze medals in rowing as many in shooting as well.
And since it's just the start of the event, shooting will be the main lead for a few days and Day 3 will no different with medal events in the discipline. Manu Bhaker, Divyansh Singh Panwar, Angad Vir Singh Bajwa, Rhythm Sangwan and Esha Singh among others will be in action in a number of events and will be eager to take home a few medals for the country.
Another discipline with a medal event featuring Indian athletes will be Fencing with CA Bhavani Devi fighting for one in women's individual sabre. Among other things, the centre attraction for Day 3 is a double delight of India-Pakistan clashes one in Volleyball and the other in squash. As far as the start of the campaign is concerned, Harmanpreet Singh-led men's hockey will be in action against Singapore in their first Pool A game.
