India secured a gold medal in the men's 10m air pistol team event on day 5 of the ongoing Asian Games 2023 being held in Hangzhou. The Indian shooting team, consisting of Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Singh Cheema, and Shiva Narwal, had to mount an impressive comeback to secure the top position. Additionally, Naorem Roshibina Devi achieved India's first medal on Day 5, although she faced defeat in the women's 60kg wushu gold medal bout against China's Wu Xiaowei.
Later in the day, the spotlight will be on men's hockey between India and Japan in what promises to be an electrifying match. Prior to that, Sunil Chhetri and his Indian football team will confront a formidable challenge from Saudi Arabia in the round of 32 clash. Following their historic gold win in the equestrian team event, attention now shifts to the Dressage individual freestyle round, where Hriday Chheda and Anush Agarwalla are in contention for medals.
