With shooting and cricket already delivering strong returns, several more Indian disciplines still carry genuine medal potential as Asian Games 2026 continues in Aichi-Nagoya.
## Badminton
Led by Lakshya Sen, PV Sindhu and doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, India’s badminton contingent has already been assured a podium finish, with the team building on their historic 2022 campaign that yielded India’s first-ever badminton gold at the Games.
## Wushu
Roshibina Devi’s run to the semi-finals of the women’s 60kg sanda puts her on track for a third consecutive Asian Games medal, one of the more reliable medal prospects remaining on India’s schedule.
## Kabaddi
Both the men’s and women’s teams opened with dominant victories, continuing India’s traditionally strong pedigree in the sport at multi-sport Games.
## Wrestling
Despite a reduced 15-member squad following pre-Games doping withdrawals, India’s wrestling contingent still features genuine contenders once competition begins in the later stages of the Games.
## Boxing
Early wins for Jadumani Singh and Sakshi Chaudhary, including Chaudhary’s notable victory over an Olympic bronze medallist, suggest India’s boxing squad could add further medals as the tournament progresses.
## Shooting’s Remaining Events
With 28 shooting events across rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines still to be contested, India’s 30-member shooting squad, which already delivered five medals in the opening days, remains well-placed to add to that total. Our full shooting medal breakdown tracks every result.
## Why This Matters
Spreading medal potential across multiple sports rather than relying on one or two disciplines gives India a more resilient path to a strong overall finish. Our medal tally breakdown will continue tracking progress as these opportunities play out.
## The Bottom Line
From badminton’s assured podium finish to wrestling’s later medal rounds, India’s remaining schedule offers a genuinely broad range of opportunities heading into the final week of competition.
