India finished its campaign at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi Nagoya with 85 medals, including 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze, securing fourth place in the overall standings. The campaign featured several notable achievements across multiple sporting disciplines.

India completed a clean sweep of gold medals in men’s and women’s cricket, kabaddi and hockey. The Aichi Nagoya Asian Games concluded yesterday after more than two weeks of competition.

In cricket, India retained both titles. The women’s team defeated Sri Lanka by 147 runs in the final, while the men’s team beat Pakistan by 19 runs to secure gold and complete the double.

India also dominated kabaddi, with both teams winning gold. The women defeated Iran 37 to 34 to retain their title, while the men overcame a deficit to beat Iran 40 to 34.

Hockey also delivered gold medals for both Indian teams. The women ended a 44 year wait for an Asian Games gold by defeating China 1 to 0, with Lalremsiami scoring the decisive goal in the 10th minute. It was India’s first women’s hockey gold at the Asian Games since 1982.

The men’s hockey team defeated Malaysia 5 to 1 to retain its title and secure India’s fifth men’s hockey gold. India had previously won the men’s hockey title in 1966, 1998, 2014 and 2022.

This was the first Asian Games where both India’s men’s and women’s hockey teams won gold medals. Both teams also secured qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Archery was among India’s strongest disciplines, contributing nine medals comprising five gold, two silver and two bronze. Boxing produced India’s best Asian Games campaign in terms of gold medals, with three gold and three bronze.

Indian wrestlers won six medals, including two gold, two silver and two bronze. This marked India’s best Asian Games wrestling performance since the 1962 Jakarta edition.
