Asian Games 2023: Indian veteran Saurav Ghosal signs off with silver in men's singles in squash

There was disappointment for India’s top squash player Saurav Ghosal as he lost to Malaysia’s Eain Yow 11-9, 9-11, 5-11, 7-11 in the final of the men's singles event.

Ghosal, who did not drop a single game at the Asiad till the final, started the match trailing the Malaysian 1-6 in the first game, before he went on to win it 11-9.

But the Malaysian turned the table in the second game winning it 11-9, and it seemed to have affected the concentration of Ghosal.

In the third and fourth games, Ghosal hardly produced any fight and his backhand completely deserted him, with the Indian making a slew of errors. He also found himself out of position several times in these two games and lost points through obstruction.

But even as Ghosal signed off with silver, it shouldn't take the sheen away from India’s brilliant outing in the squash competition in Hangzhou, where they bettered the country’s effort in the Incheon Games 2014. India had won a historic gold in the men's team event nine years ago, with two silver and a bronze to boot with.

However, in the ongoing Games, India have won two gold, a silver and a bronze.
