India’s campaign at the Asian Games 2026 finished on a high, with the men’s hockey team clinching the 21st gold medal on Saturday. With that medal, India finished with 85 medals – 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze. India’s major medal rush came in the last four days, with archers bringing home five gold medals and boxers winning three gold medals. The wrestling and hockey teams won two gold medals each, while the Indian men’s cricket team won one. As a result, India rose to fourth place in the Asian Games 2026 medal tally.
India’s 2026 medal tally was 21 fewer than what the team won at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. At the 2022 edition, India won 28 gold, 38 silver and 40 bronze medals. India had finished fourth at the 2022 edition. This time too India can finish fourth, provided Uzbekistan does not win a gold medal on the final day of the competition at the Asian Games 2026.
