India’s Asian Games campaign in Nagoya was hit by a last-minute organisational setback after defending shot put champion Tajinderpal Singh Toor was replaced as the country’s flagbearer at the opening ceremony, according to a report by ToI's Manuja Veerappa & Sabi Hussain.
Toor was due to carry the Indian flag alongside Manu Bhaker at Saturday’s ceremony. However, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) replaced him with kabaddi player Pawan Sehrawat on Friday night after Toor informed officials that he would not have the ceremonial kit required for the event in time.
