This brings an end to India's day at the Asian Games. Day 5 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.

Shardul Vihan, still in his teens, held his nerve to claim a silver in the double trap shooting event. It was a brilliant show of focus and grit by the 15-year-old as he ended one point behind Shin Hyunwoo.
Asian Games is proving to be a shocker for the biggest medal hopefuls. After star names in wrestling like Sushil Kumar or Manu Bhaker in shooting, it is athletes from weightlifting who fail to get a podium finish. Sathish Sivalingam who has produced phenomenal results in Commonwealth Games was reduced to tenth spot in the men's 77kg after he injured himself in failed attempt of 178 kg in clean and jerk. Meanwhile, another weightlifter Ajay Singh could also just secure a fifth position.
