Ansar Iqbal has qualified for the men's long jump final at the Asian Games with a personal best jump of 7.28 metres. This achievement secured his place in the final and marked an improved performance in the qualifying round.
The Asian Games continue with various events, including athletics, archery, and badminton.

She lost in the quarter-final against China's Chen Yufei.
Other events include India's Sivaraj Babu competing in the men's shortboard surfing, and the Indian men's cricket team opening their campaign against Afghanistan. Athletics events feature Avinash Sable in the 3000m steeplechase and Sreeshankar Murali in the men's long jump.
