It was a historic day for India at the Asian Games 2023 with the medals tally surpassing the previous best of 70 during Asiad 2018. To make things better, India clinched gold and silver in the men's Javelin Throw with Neeraj Chopra and Kishore Jena finishing first and second respectively. Not only this, India soon clinched a gold medal in the men's 4x400m relay to cap off a superb day.
