Group F Drama: India’s Women Reverse Deficit to Top Pool, Men Suffer 0‑3 Loss to Iran

Group F proved a roller‑coaster for India at the Asian Games. After an early 0‑3 defeat to Indonesia, the women surged back, defeating Singapore 3‑2 and climbing to the top of the pool with four points. Shrija Akula’s comeback after an opening 6‑11 loss and Yashasvi Ghorpade’s gritty fifth‑game win were the highlights. Meanwhile, the men’s squad could not replicate the form, falling 0‑3 to Iran after a dominant opening victory over Indonesia.
