Asian Games 2023: HS Prannoy's absence hurts as India settle for silver after losing to China in final

Injured HS Prannoy’s absence hurt India as they went down fighting 2-3 against badminton powerhouse China to sign off with their first-ever silver medal in the men's team championships at the #AsianGames

India's second silver medal in badminton at the continental championships with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu winning the first in women's singles in the 2018 edition.

Injured HS Prannoy&rsquo;s absence hurt India as they went down fighting 2-3 against badminton powerhouse China to sign off with their first-ever silver medal in the men's team championships at the Asian Games.
After world No. 7 Prannoy was ruled out due to a back injury, Lakshya Sen produced a gutsy show in the first singles and doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty then bossed over their opponents to put India 2-0 ahead.
So, it was once again left to Srikanth to carry the team on his shoulders.
The former world No. 1, who had produced a gritty show against South Korea in the semifinals, couldn't go the distance this time despite a healthy lead and multiple game points as China fought back to make it 1-2.
The defending champions then won the remaining two matches to maintain their hegemony in the Asian Games.
With Prannoy missing the summit clash due to a back injury, Sen was handed the responsibility of leading the Indian charge.
Sen recovered from a mid-game slump to erase a five-point deficit in the decider and put India ahead with a 22-20 14-21 21-18 win over world No. 6 Shi Yuqi in an 83-minute opening slugfest.
World No. 3 men's doubles pair of Satwik and Chirag then went on a smashing spree to outclass world No 2. Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang 21-15 21-18 in 55 minutes to extend the lead to 2-0. Srikanth, however, squandered an 18-14 lead and multiple game points in the first game to go down 22-24 9-21 against All England champion Li Shifeng in the third singles to expose India's weakest link -- the second doubles and third singles matches.
Scratch pair of Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek Krishna Prasad then lost 6-21 15-21 to world No. 8 Liu Yu Chen and Ou Xuan Yi, while Prannoy's replacement Mithun Manjunath, ranked 53, went down 12-21 4-21 against world No. 20 Weng Hong Yang in the third singles as India finished second best.
Despite the loss, it is a creditable performance from the Indian team as it sealed India's second silver medal in badminton at the continental championships with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu winning the first in women's singles in the 2018 edition.
The last time the Indian men won a badminton medal in the team championships was at the 1986 edition in Seoul where Sen's mentors Prakash Padukone and Vimal Kumar played a crucial role.
India now has 11 badminton medals in the Asian Games, including three individual singles medals, one silver and three bronze in the men's team, two women's team bronze and one medal each in men's doubles and mixed doubles

It was an absolute one-sided race, with no one even in the frame when Avinash crossed the finish line.

Aditi Ashok achieved golfing greatness on Sunday. She won a historic silver medal in women's golf in Asian Games 2023 to become the first Indian woman ever to win a medal in golf in any edition of the games.
A second-place finish on the podium was still a little heartbreaking as the entire nation anticipated a Gold medal from Aditi Ashok after she went into the final day of women's golf in Asian Games 2023 at the number 1 spot.
However, gold medal hopes came crashing down as Aditi had an average final day and finished with a silver medal.
Moreover, the trio of Aditi Ashok, Avani Prashanth and Pranavi Urs came close to a historic Asian Games medal in the women's team even but it was not to be.
At the conclusion of Round 3, the women's team held the Gold medal position. However, a setback during the round, particularly for Aditi Ashok, coupled with limited support from the other two golfers, resulted in India slipping out of podium contention.
Never the less, a super effort helped Aditi become the first Indian golfer to win an individual medal since 2002.

'I understand that only fifteen players can be a part, because it&rsquo;s a World Cup, where you can&rsquo;t take 17 or 18,' Chahal told Wisden India.

Yuzvendra Chahal opens up on ODI World Cup 2023 snub

'I’m used to it now it’s been 3 World Cups (laughs),' Yuzvendra Chahal breaks his silence on missing out on 3 consecutive World Cups

'I understand that only fifteen players can be a part, because it&rsquo;s a World Cup, where you can&rsquo;t take 17 or 18,' Chahal told Wisden India.

Yuzvendra Chahal opened up on missing out on a 3rd consecutive World Cup for India and said that he understands that only 15 players can be a part of the squad and you can&rsquo;t take 17 or 18 players.
'I do feel a little bad, but my motto in life is to move on. I&rsquo;m used to it now it&rsquo;s been three World Cups (laughs),' Chahal told Wisden India.
'I want to play cricket somewhere, somehow. That's why I came here to play for Kent,' the leg spinner said about his County Championship stint.
Indian selectors initially picked 3 spinners for the 2023 World Cup - Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. However, Axar couldn't recover in time for the event, so Ravichandran Ashwin was drafted into the squad last minute.
Sadly, Chahal wasn't in selectors' top 4 spinners as well.
Before this, Chahal wasn't a part of the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE and did not play a single match in the 2022 edition of the tournament despite getting selected.
