9.16 pm: BADMINTON

Soon after Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu ensured that India would win at least two badminton medals from the 2018 Asian Games, nine-time national champion and now a commentator, Aparna Popat tweeted about how she was fed up of people asking her why India doesn’t enjoy success at the Asian Games.

The other person who would have been haunted by the 36-year individual medal drought in the Asian Games since 1982 would have been Saina Nehwal. Seeded second, the then 28-year-old was touted to win the gold medal eight years ago in Guangzhou given that she had won three back-to-back titles and her first Commonwealth Games gold in the second half of the year and was the player in form.

At long last, a resilient Saina Nehwal breaks her Asian Games hoodoo, writes Abhijeet Kulkarni. Read more here.

9.07 pm: Table Tennis

And she broke her own record and her national record twice in two days. Stupendous effort.

Meanwhile, here’s the moment that got Lakshmanan DQ’d.

7.21 pm: ATHLETICS

The possible reason for this could be Lakshmanan stepped out of the lane when he was getting lapped by the winner. Tough luck, this.

7.11 pm: ATHLETICS - BREAKING NEWS

India’s Lakshmanan G has been disqualified! He had finished the 10000m race in bronze medal position but the decision has been overturned. The official ruling is IAAF 163.3b, which is basically obstruction. More details as we get.

On day 2 of the women’s skeet qualification, India’s Rashmi Rathore has shot a 23/25 in the fourth series to take her total to 91/100.
