In a day marked by mixed fortunes for Indian athletes at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou, the nation celebrated a triumphant return to equestrian dressage. Hriday Chheda, Anush Agarwalla, Divyakriti Singh, and Sudipti Hajela clinched India's first Asian Games gold in the sport after a long 41-year gap.

Teenage sensation Neha Thakur added to the tally by securing a silver medal in the girl's dinghy - ILCA4 sailing event, while Eabad Ali captured a bronze in the men's windsurfer - RS:X category.

Team sports bagged good results as well. Indian hockey extended its reign emphatically as the men's team secured a commanding 16-1 victory over Singapore.

The men's squash team notched consecutive 3-0 wins against Singapore and Qatar. Meanwhile, the women's squad made a resounding statement by triumphing over arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening fixture with a 3-0 score.

However, there was a poignant moment of heartbreak as Bhavani Devi fell short in the quarterfinals, despite a promising start winning all the pool matches in her fencing campaign.

In the combat sports category, boxers Sachin Siwach (men's 57kg) and Narender Berwal (men's +92kg) made a solid start. They advanced to the quarterfinals after emerging victorious in their opening bouts.

The Indian men's volleyball team had to settle for a sixth-place finish after falling short in the 5th placing match against Pakistan. Meanwhile, tennis witnessed mixed results, with Sumit Nagal and Ankita Raina reaching the singles quarterfinals, and the mixed doubles pair of Yuki & Raina advancing to Round 3. However, Rutuja Bhosale, Ramkumar Ramanathan, and two doubles pairs faced elimination.
