Lakshya Sen Exits Asian Games Badminton After Three-Game Loss to Loh Kean Yew
Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen was eliminated from the men's singles badminton event at the Asian Games 2026 after a three-game loss to Singapore's Loh Kean Yew in the opening round. Sen started strong but lost the first game after Loh's comeback, won the second game, and ultimately fell in the decider. This exit followed an early loss by India's men's doubles pair. Meanwhile, other Indian athletes, including PV Sindhu and marathoner Sawan Barwal, continue competing, with Barwal winning a silver medal.
