NEW DELHI: India went to Hangzhou with a 653 member strong contingent for the ongoing 19th edition of the Asian Games in China, their biggest contingent ever, with an ambitious goal of making it the best ever Games for the country.
They achieved their primary goal on Wednesday, when they breached the 70-medal mark and finished Day 11 of the competition with a staggering total tally of 81 medals. With it, they shattered the previous best medal haul of 70, achieved in the last edition in Jakarta in 2018.
