India had brought back a haul of seventy from Jakarta 2018. Two days into the current Games, with India having won eleven medals by the end of Monday, the hundred seems within reach. The shooters and the rowers started the party, but we have to doff our hat at the volleyball team. Their performance shows that talent is not what India lacks. India, ranked 73rd in the world, beat much higher-ranked teams South Korea, the 2018 Games silver medallist, and Chinese Taipei, who won the 2018 bronze-to advance to the quarterfinals. They eventually lost to world number five Japan and will play Pakistan for the fifth place.
