On Day 3 of the Asian Games 2023, India clinched its first gold medal in Equestrian, a historic achievement by the dressage team that outperformed China and Hong Kong. The quartet's score of 209.205 secured the top podium finish. Neha Thakur contributed a silver in sailing, while Eabad Ali added a bronze. After a relatively slow start, these medals were a much-needed boost for India's campaign. However, some disappointments included a close loss in shooting and fencing. With these mixed results, the question arises: Can India maintain its momentum and secure more medals as the Asian Games progress, bolstering its overall performance?
