Among women, Anjali Devi Kundu reigned supreme with a strong timing of 51.48 seconds in the final while youngster Himanshi Malik post an impressive 51.76 seconds for the silver. R Vithay Ramaraj impressed as well with a timing of 52.49 seconds.

Their performances have rekindled India's hopes of retaining the women's 400m relay title at the Asian Games for the sixth time as Hima Das & Co. pulled a rabbit out of the hat against Bahrain back in 2018.

The 1500m event saw the return of the national record holder Harmilan Bains, who was beaten to the finish line by Madhya Pradesh's Deeksha KM. Both of them, however, did enough to breach the qualification standard for the Asian Games.
