On Monday, the men’s team followed up with another silver medal in the 10m air rifle team event. In the individual event, Himanshu Dhillon also claimed silver, while Rudrankksh Patil settled for bronze.

Which are the sports to watch out for on Day 3?

India will be in action in numerous sports, including swimming, badminton, boxing, equestrian, hockey, kabaddi, karate, sepak takraw, table tennis and soft tennis.

However, cricket will command the nation’s attention, with the Indian women’s cricket team set to face Sri Lanka in the gold-medal clash. Harmanpreet Kaur and co are the defending champions and are heavily backed to retain the title.

Wushu will also feature a medal event, with Hanjabam Langlentombi Devi set to compete in the women’s nandao final.
