Four bronze, one silver and four editions since her Asian Games debut in 2010 later, Dipika Pallikal finally finally had a gold to her name, teaming up with old friend Harinderpal Sandhu to claim the mixed doubles and India’s second squash gold here, winning 11-10, 11-10 against Malaysia’s Aifa Binti Azman and Mohd. Syafiq Kamal in 35 minutes.
The duo had to dig deep into its reserves and experience to survive crucial moments in both games as Harinderpal got his second gold at the Asian Games after the men’s team final.
