Deepika Kumari
Much is expected from the Indian archery team but they have always disappointed when it comes to mega events, citing wind and weather as reasons for their poor performances. Yet, they enter the Asian Games 2018 stage with a lot of hope after enjoying decent form in their last couple of outings. India had won medals in all the four events of the compound section when the category was introduced in Incheon four years ago. But Deepika, a former World No 1, will compete in the recurve events.
