Cricket – 2 medals
Cricket delivered two gold medals, with India winning both the women’s and men’s events. The women’s team won the title earlier in the competition, becoming the country’s first gold medallist of the edition in the source material. The men’s team later followed by winning the men’s event, giving India a clean sweep of the two cricket gold medals on offer.

The women’s gold is listed in the source as India’s seventh medal, while the men’s gold came near the end of the campaign.
Kabaddi – 2 medals
Kabaddi produced a perfect return for India, with two gold medals from two events. The Indian women’s team won the women’s event, while the men’s team also finished as champions. Both results are recorded as gold medals for Team India in the source. That gave kabaddi a clean sweep, matching cricket and hockey in contributing two gold medals without a silver or bronze. The women’s and men’s titles also meant that both Indian teams competing in the discipline converted their campaigns into gold, adding to the concentration of India’s top finishes in team sports.
Hockey – 2 medals
Hockey contributed two gold medals to India’s campaign, with the women’s team winning the Asian Games title. The source records Team India’s women’s hockey gold and later lists another hockey entry for Team India. In the broader medal tally supplied with the story, hockey is credited with two gold medals. That makes hockey one of the disciplines responsible for India’s gold-medal count rather than adding silver or bronze to the total. The women’s title also represented one of the major landmark achievements highlighted separately in the campaign, with India ending a long wait for the Asian Games women’s hockey crown.
Golf – 2 medals
Golf produced two medals – one gold and one silver. Pranavi Urs won the women’s individual event, giving India its gold medal in golf. Urs then joined Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar in the women’s team event, where the Indian trio won silver. The result meant Urs featured in both of India’s golf medals, winning gold individually before adding a team silver. Golf therefore contributed one of India’s individual titles as well as a podium finish in the team competition.
Weightlifting – 1 medal
Weightlifting contributed one silver medal, won by Mirabai Chanu in the women’s 49kg category. Her medal was India’s sole podium finish in the sport in the supplied list. The result also carried historical significance for India’s weightlifting campaign, as Chanu’s silver ended a long wait for an Asian Games medal in the discipline. In the sport-wise tally, weightlifting therefore stands at one medal overall, with no gold or bronze. Chanu’s silver remains one of the notable individual results from India’s campaign.
Wushu – 1 medal
Wushu brought India one silver medal, with Roshibina Devi finishing runner-up in the women’s 60kg sanda event. Her medal was the only Wushu podium finish recorded for India in the supplied results. Roshibina’s result also added to her record at the continental Games, with the source noting separately that she secured her third straight Asian Games medal. Wushu therefore contributed a single silver to India’s overall tally, with no gold or bronze in the sport.
Mixed Martial Arts – 1 medal
Mixed martial arts gave India one bronze medal, won by Suchika Tariyal in the women’s traditional -60kg division. It was a significant result because Tariyal’s bronze represented India’s first Asian Games medal in mixed martial arts. The sport had no gold or silver for India in the supplied tally, making Tariyal the sole Indian medallist in MMA. Her podium finish therefore carried significance beyond the single bronze added to the overall medal count, opening India’s account in a discipline making its mark at the Games.
Soft Tennis – 1 medal
India won one bronze medal in soft tennis, with Jay Meena finishing on the podium in the men’s singles event. Meena’s bronze was India’s only medal in the sport in the supplied results.

Soft tennis consequently contributed one bronze to the overall medal tally, with no gold or silver. It was one of several sports in which India collected a single medal during its wide-ranging Asian Games campaign.
Badminton – 1 medal
Badminton contributed one bronze medal, with Team India finishing third in the men’s team event. There were no individual badminton medals recorded in the supplied list, making the men’s team result the sport’s sole contribution.

Badminton therefore finished the Games with one medal – bronze – in the sport-wise breakdown provided.
Rowing – 1 medal
Rowing contributed one bronze medal, won by Satnam Singh and Salman Khan in the men’s double sculls. The pair’s podium finish was India’s only rowing medal in the supplied results.

Table Tennis – 1 medal
India’s only table tennis medal came in mixed doubles, where Diya Chitale and Manush Shah won bronze. The result gave India one medal in the sport, with no gold or silver recorded in the supplied tally.

Chitale and Shah’s podium finish added to the variety of disciplines in which India collected medals, with the sport’s contribution coming through a doubles event rather than the team or singles categories.
Kurash – 1 medal
India won one bronze in Kurash, with Pincky Balhara finishing third in the women’s -78kg category. Balhara was the only Indian medallist in the sport in the supplied results, meaning Kurash finished with one bronze and no gold or silver.
