Pawan Sehrawat replaces Tajinderpal Singh Toor as India's Asian Games flag-bearer
Pawan Sehrawat has been chosen as the flag-bearer for India's opening ceremony at the Asian Games, stepping in for Tajinderpal Singh Toor, who faced delays with his official kit. Toor mentioned that his kit would arrive too late to participate in the event. Additionally, the athletics team is still waiting for their uniforms. Sehrawat will accompany Manu Bhaker in carrying the Indian flag.
India's flag-bearer for the Asian Games opening ceremony in Nagoya has changed, with Pawan Sehrawat replacing Tajinderpal Singh Toor. Sehrawat was unable to receive his official kit in time and was informed about his flag-bearer duties only on Friday, while his coach had already arrived in Nagoya a day earlier. Toor was informed his kit would arrive at Nagoya airport at 3pm, but reaching the ceremony venue after collecting the kit would have been challenging.
The athletics contingent, including Sehrawat, is yet to receive its kits, and they are currently based at the University of Tsukuba near Tokyo for an acclimatisation camp.
