India will aim for more medals as it begins its eighth day of action at the ongoing Asian Games. Squash will be in focus, with the nation eyeing a total of two gold medals. Abhay Singh and Anahat Singh will be playing their final matches in the men's and women's singles events, respectively. While the two have already assured India of two silvers, they will have a superb opportunity to change the colour of their medals. Meanwhile, Tejaswin Shankar will also aim for a podium finish in the final five events of the decathlon.
