Asian Games India Day -1 Schedule: Full list of events and timings in IST (September 22)

The first day of the Asian Games 2023 will bring with it some nerve wracking sporting action for Indian fans. With athletes sporting the Indian tri-color participating in multiple events tomorrow, here is a breakdown of what to expect on 22nd September.

Starting the day for India and taking the center stage at the Asian Games tomorrow will be the table tennis squad. The women's team consisting of Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula will participate in two preliminary rounds at Hangzhou.

The men's table tennis team will also give fans a taste of the action as they get down to business for their first two rounds of the tournament. The Indian men's team finished with a bronze at the 2018 Asiad, and they'll be looking to improve on the color of their medal this time around.

Another Indian team to lookout for on the 22nd of September in Hangzhou will be the men's volleyball squad. The team pulled off a massive upset yesterday as they beat South Korea, who won silver at the 2018 Jakarta games.

The match went down to the wire, lasting 2 hours and 23 minutes before India took a 3-2 win. The team will now face off against Chinese Taipei in the round of 12.

Athlete Mayank Chaphekar, who made history as the first Indian to participate in the modern pentathlon event at the Asiad, will also be in action tomorrow.

Other than these, India's sailors and rowers will also be performing in Hangzhou tomorrow.
