India ended their Asian Games 2026 campaign in Aichi-Nagoya with 85 medals — 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze. The final medal came through the men’s hockey team, which defeated Malaysia 5-1 to retain its Asian Games title. India also won gold in men’s cricket after beating Pakistan by 19 runs in the final. A major late surge helped India move into fourth place in the medal table. Among the standout performances, Kumkum Mohod became the first Indian woman to win an individual recurve gold, while golfer Pranavi Urs won India’s first individual women’s golf gold at the Asian Games.
