Tuesday could be India's biggest day yet at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games — with live medal chances in shooting, boxing and athletics all landing in the same session.
The shooting team arrives with momentum. The women's trap squad has already claimed silver, and Neeru Dhanda has punched through to the individual final, giving India a second crack at the podium before the day is out.
In boxing, multiple Indian fighters have reached the semifinals, keeping gold within reach across several weight categories. Athletics is equally active, with competitors in the field at a stage where margins are smallest, and performances tend to be career-defining.
The cricket team has advanced to the last four, where it faces Sri Lanka. Rain disrupted earlier knockout fixtures and complicated the draw, but India navigated the uncertainty and now stands two wins from a title.
With the overall medal table entering its most competitive phase, Tuesday's results will carry real weight. A strong showing across shooting, boxing and athletics would mark this as one of India's most successful Asian Games campaigns in recent memory.
