Abhinav Bindra wins his first individual Asian games medal, when he win Bronze in 10m Air Pistol ... With his help Indian Men's 10m Air Rifle team also wins another Bronze medal for India ... Abhinav finished on 5th position with 625.4 pts and qualify for the final ... Ravi Kumar and Sanjeev Rajput finished on 20th and 21st position with 618.9 pts and 618.7 pts respectively ... In the final Chinese shooters were too good for all shooter still Abhinav managed to grab Bronze in his last professional tournament ... Yesterday he tweeted that, "Tomorrow will mark the end of my professional shooting life. I will however still shoot, compete as a hobby shooter, training twice a week."

Saurav misses big opportunity of becoming first Indian squash player for winning Gold medal at Asian games ... After winning first 2 games Saurav was moving towards straight games victory but Almezayen made dramatic comeback in the match for winning next three games ... Saurav missed Gold medal point at 12-11 in the third game.

In Wushu we win over first ever medals as our both players lose their semi-final matches for winning Bronze medal.

Very ordinary stuff in hockey by Indian players in their match against Oman ... VR Raghunath missed 8 penalty corners in this match tell us whole story of our performance ... The most worrying factor for India will be ace drag-flicker Rupinderpal's injury before the crucial game against arch-rivals Pakistan.
