Asian Games Day 5: Indian Shooters and Mirabai Chanu in Action as Sepaktakraw Team Seeks Wins

Indian athletes compete across sixteen sports disciplines today as the national contingent looks to build on the women's cricket team gold win. Olympic star Manu Bhaker takes part in the ten-meter air pistol and skeet events alongside team members Esha Singh and Suruchi Singh. Weightlifting champion Mirabai Chanu also steps out today to compete for a medal she has not yet won at the Asiad. Meanwhile, in sepaktakraw, the Indian men's quadrant team recently secured a bronze medal at the world championships after losing their semi-final match to hosts Thailand in three sets. In ongoing group fixtures, the Indian men's team faces the Philippines in the team regu event, following an earlier two-nil victory over Japan and a zero-three loss to Malaysia.
