India won the Asian Games men’s squash team bronze after losing one match to two against Malaysia in the October 1 semifinal. ANI, IANS and NDTV Profit reported the result. It is a team-event outcome, separate from India’s earlier singles medals.
Abhay Singh lost the opening match to Ng Eain Yow, eight-eleven in each of three games. Veer Chotrani then levelled the tie by beating Sanjay Jeeva eleven-four, eleven-eight, eleven-five. Velavan Senthilkumar won the first game of the deciding match twelve-ten, but Ameeshenraj Chandaran took the next three six-eleven, eight-eleven and nine-eleven from the Indian’s perspective.
Malaysia’s victory secured a final against Pakistan, while India finished with bronze. India had won this men’s team event at the Hangzhou Games in 2023.
