The Indian men's cricket team clinched a gold medal at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs in the final. ICC Chairman Jay Shah presented the medals to the victorious Indian players. India's strong batting display, featuring Abhishek Sharma's 61 runs off 28 balls and Tilak Varma's unbeaten 51 off 22 deliveries, led them to post 211/6 in their 20 overs, setting a target of 212 for Pakistan.

Despite Hasan Nawaz's determined 96, Pakistan fell short in their chase, finishing at 192/6, securing a narrow 19-run victory for India. This win marked India's successful defense of their men's cricket gold medal at the Asian Games and completed a cricket gold-medal double for the country at the 2026 Games, following the women's team's earlier triumph over Sri Lanka.
