Asian Games 2026: India added two more silver medals to its tally on Day 8, with Anahat Singh and Abhay Singh finishing runners-up in the women’s and men’s squash singles events.
Teenage squash star Anahat Singh created history by becoming the first Indian woman to win a silver medal in the singles event at the Asian Games. She put up a strong fight in the final but fell short of the gold medal.
In the men’s squash singles final, Abhay Singh also settled for silver after being unable to overcome his opponent. Despite missing out on gold, both Indian players delivered impressive performances throughout the tournament.
The spotlight now shifts to the Indian women’s hockey team, which remains one of the key attractions for Indian fans on Day 8. The team will look to maintain its strong campaign and push towards a medal as the competition intensifies.
India’s athletes are continuing to compete across several disciplines, with the country hoping to add more medals as the Asian Games progress. The performances of Anahat and Abhay have provided another significant boost to India’s campaign.
