HANGZHOU: The ammunition depot of India's Asian Games contingent shifted from shooting to racquet sports on Saturday when 'comebacks' became the underlying theme of two gold medals and some stellar wins amplified the roar towards the podium.
A gold medal each in tennis and squash headlined India's performance in racquet sports, while the Mukherjees, Ayhika and Sutirtha, stunned the world No. 1 Chinese pair on home soil to confirm themselves a historic medal by entering the semifinals of women's team event in table tennis.
Another piece of history is in the making on the badminton courts, where Kidambi Srikanth's rally in the decider put India into the men's team final, earning a maiden shot at Asian Games gold in the event. All roads in Hangzhou will lead to the badminton arena on Sunday where Indian shuttlers will hope to emulate the shooters in giving China a run for their money.
