India's schedule on Day 6 of Asian Games 2018: Bopanna/Sharan, women's kabaddi team to go for gold

Bengaluru, August 23: With only one silver bagged by Shardul Vihan in shooting and Ankita Raina's bronze medal in women's tennis on Thursday, the Day Five (August 23) of the Asian Games 2018 was a disappointing one for India in Jakarta.

Shooters will again be fancied to get the medals for India on Friday when Manu Bhaker and Heena Sidhu will feature in the Women's 10m Air Pistol event. Shivam Shukla and Anish, who bagged a Commonwealth Games 2018 gold, will be in action in the Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol event.

The men's kabaddi suffered a slump against Iran and lost in the semifinals, settling for a bronze. They had sealed the gold medal in the past seven Asian Games and it was the first time that India did not return with the gold medal in the sport. The women's team, however, will take on Iran in the final on Friday (August 24), the Day Six of the Asian Games 2018.

Ankita Raina gave a fillip to women's tennis by clinching the bronze in the women's singles competition. Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan will play their men's doubles final on Day 6 (August 24), while Prajnesh Gunneswaran is up against the formidable Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan in the men's singles semifinal. Istomin had famously beaten Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open 2017.

Joshana Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal will continue their campaign in squash but Saurav Ghosal is up against compatriot Harinder Pal Sandhu in the men's singles quarterfinal, denying India the possibility of two medals in the men's competition at least.

Even the badminton stars will build up towards making the final in the men's singles competition. Both Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy will be in action on Friday.

After two easy opponents, India face a better team in Japan in a men's hockey pool game.

The laurels from shooting continue to pour in. The talented Shardul Vihan wins the Silver in the Double Trap event. At the age of 15, Shardul has achieved historic successes and I am sure he will continue to excel in the coming years. Congratulations to him! #AsianGames2018 pic.twitter.com/5oGwQJzYKh
