India's promising squash talents Anahat Singh and Abhay Malik both settled for silver medals at the Asian Games 2026 in Japan, marking a mixed outcome for the nation's racquet sport contingent.
Singh, one of India's brightest squash prospects, was unable to capture gold in the women's singles competition, losing in the final match held on Sunday. The loss represents a setback for the young athlete, who has been steadily rising through the international rankings.
Malik's silver in the men's singles competition added another podium finish for India in the sport. Despite the duo's strong performances throughout the tournament, neither athlete managed to secure gold medals for the country.
The results underscore both the competitive depth at the continental Games and the progress being made by India's squash players on the international stage. With several matches and events still ongoing, India will be looking to capitalize on further opportunities in the remaining squash competitions.
