The Indian men’s team produced a disappointing effort in the first two sessions to hand the lead to Hong Kong in the final of the bridge competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Thursday. India now trails Hong Kong 91-132.10 after playing 48 boards, with the final three sessions to be played on Friday. Indian men started the day tepidly, losing the first session to Hong Kong 55-32. India, who had taken gold and two bronzes at the 2018 Jakarta Games, could not stage a comeback in the afternoon session as they had often done during these Games, conceding the segment to Hong Kong 46-29.

However, the Indian team won the final session of the day after an exciting battle 30-28, and that would give them some confidence for the final three rounds.
The Indian team is represented by Jaggy Shivdasani, Sandeep Thakral, Sumit Mukherjee, Rajeshwar Tiwari, Raju Tolani and Ajay Khare.
Indian women and mixed teams had already been eliminated from the Asian Games.
