What Happened

India's men's doubles teqball pair of Declan Marshall Gonsalves and Mohamed Anas Imran Beg were eliminated in the group stage of the Asian Games 2026. The duo lost both Group B matches, first to Vietnam (10-12, 8-12) and then to South Korea (4-12, 7-12), missing out on qualification for the quarter-finals and repechage rounds.

Key Takeaways

Teqball, making its Asian Games debut, provided India's first action at Aichi-Nagoya 2026. Despite entering as former World Championship bronze medallists, the Indian pair's campaign ended on the opening day, leaving India to look ahead to upcoming events, including women's cricket.
