India at Asian Games: Live updates from Day 3 action on September 22, 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya

India will look to open their gold medal tally on day 3 of the 2026 Asian Games, with cricket and shooting (10m air rifle mixed team) the most promising avenues for that. There's a whole lot of action outside that too, as the Asiad picks up pace and the events come rolling on.

Day 2 saw Himanshu Dhillon, Rudrankksh Patil and Parth Mane combined to win team silver in 10m air rifle; and then later, Dhillon and Patil made it a double podium in the individual final. MMA fighter Suchika Tariyal had a bronze too. How many medals can India add to their overnight tally of 6 today?
