Asian Games 2023: Updated India schedule for September 23

The opening ceremony will also take place on Saturday.

In the early stages of Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou, the Indian contingent has been delivering impressive performances in various disciplines. The Indian men’s volleyball team delivered a fabulous display in their victory over a higher-ranked Chinese Taipei team. They will next meet two-time World Championships winner Japan in the quarterfinals.

Table Tennis also saw impressive performances from both the men’s and women’s teams on September 22 (Friday). The Indian men’s team secured two wins against Singapore and Yemen. They will hope to carry that momentum into Saturday as they face Tajikistan. On the other hand, the Indian women’s team was also excellent as they defeated Singapore by a 3-2 margin in a closely fought contest. Nepal is their next opponent, and the Manika Batra-led team will hope to replicate their display.

Eyes will be on Sailing as well in which several Indian athletes have been competing. In particular, the focus will be on Vishnu Saravan, competing in the men’s dinghy ILCA7, who is presently leading the competition after four races.

September 23 is an important day but one that will not see a huge amount of action. The opening ceremony of the Asian Games 2023 will take place at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium from 5:30 PM IST onwards.
