India has a lot to learn from their own performance. While they need to plug the loopholes, they should get inspired from the Koreans and learn how to peak under pressure.
But Jyothi Surekha! What a model of consistency and what calmness under pressure!
She was the most experienced and a lot was expected from her. She never ever faltered! Jyothi kept on shooting a 10 throughout the match! Stunning performance from her, even when her teammates started struggling towards the end.
India started on a high, with three 10s and grabbed an immediate lead. However, their level dipped as the match progressed. The second half of End 4 was absolutely disappointing as youngsters, Kumari and Muskan couldn't deliver the goods.
Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE coverage of the 2018 Asian Games Jakarta-Palembang! Next up, the Women's Compound team of Jyothi Surekha, Madhumita Kumari, Muskan Kirar will be in action against South Korea in the summit clash.
Indian Athletics' unprecedented run continued at the Games on Day 9. Dharun Ayyasamy won silver in Men's 400m Hurdles event and also broke the national record. Sudha Singh won a Silver Women's 3000m Steeplechase. Another Silver was added to India's tally as Neena Varakil won it in Women's Long Jump. However, the standout performer was Neeraj Chopra, who was also India's flag bearer in the opening ceremony of the multi-sport extravaganza, who lived up to expectations and bagged GOLD for India in Men's Javelin Throw.
The Indian Men's Table Tennis Team also scripted history as they entered the Semifinals of the event and thereby secured a Bronze medal. They are set to face Korea in the Semis today. PV Sindhu also made it to a historic final which she will be playing against Tai Tzu Ying today!

Two big FINALS are coming up in Archery. Both the Men's and Women's Compound teams made it to the final. While the Indian recurve teams have disappointed, the Compound teams have exceeded expectations by reaching the final.
The Women's team -- consisting of Jyothi Surekha, Madhumita Kumari, Muskan Kirar -- will be going up against the South Korean team of Bomin Choi, Chaewon So, and Yun Soo Song.
The Indian Compound team's results so far are below:
1. Quarterfinals: Defeated Indonesia 229-224 2. Semifinals: Defeated Chinese Taipei 225-222
South Korea's Women's Compound team is one to be feared but the Indian women have also shown tremendous temparament and should be able to give them a run for their money.
