Indian Cricketers' Full Registered Names Displayed on Asian Games Scorecard
During the Asian Games men's cricket final, Indian players' names appeared differently on the official scorecard, using their full registered names rather than commonly known ones. For example, Sanju Samson was listed as S. Vishwanadh, Tilak Varma as T.T.V. Namboori, and Washington Sundar as W.S. Mani Sundar. This naming convention, standard in multi-sport events, initially confused fans but reflected official athlete registrations rather than errors or new players.
