India wins cricket gold at 2026 Asian Games

India secured the men's cricket gold medal at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs. Batting first, India posted a total of 211 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs, fueled by aggressive performances from Abhishek Sharma (61 runs off 28 balls) and Tilak Varma (51 runs unbeaten off 22 balls). Pakistan responded with 192 runs for 6 wickets, despite a notable 96-run innings from Hasan Nawaz. The match was marked by a lack of traditional handshakes between the two teams before and after the game, reflecting ongoing sporting tensions between the nations.

In other notable achievements for India at the games, Kumkum Mohod won gold in the women's individual recurve archery event, becoming the first Indian woman to do so in this category and securing a quota for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Pranavi Urs also claimed gold in women's individual stroke play golf. Additionally, South Korean golfer Tom Kim secured gold in the men's golf tournament, an achievement that grants him an exemption from mandatory military service.
