India's Men's Kabaddi Team Advances Unbeaten to Asian Games 2026 Semifinals
India's men's kabaddi team secured an unbeaten run in Group A at the 2026 Asian Games, winning all four matches against Japan, South Korea, Bangladesh, and Chinese Taipei to reach the semifinals. Their latest 37-21 victory over Chinese Taipei guaranteed at least a bronze medal as they aim to defend their title and pursue a ninth gold since kabaddi's 1990 Asiad debut. The Indian women's team also recorded consecutive group-stage wins and will face host Japan next.
