Jakarta/Palembang, August 23: Day 5 of the Asian Games was nowhere close to Day 4 for India in terms of medals. But the highlight of the day was the silver won by 15-year-old Shardul Vihan in the men's double trap event. Vihan not only held his nerves to win the silver, but also displayed remarkable skills.
But the biggest loss and setback to India's campaign came when the men's Kabbadi team suffered a defeat at the hands of the Iran team in the semi-final. India's Kabaddi team had to settle for a bronze after the defeat. The women's team though, has reached the finals.
