Hangzhou, October 7 (Press Ki Taquat)<\/p>\n
The Indian women\u2019s kabaddi team survived by the skin of its teeth as it beat Chinese Taipei 26-25 in a dramatic final to regain its title for the country\u2019s 100th medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games here on Saturday.<\/p>\n
This was India\u2019s third gold in women\u2019s kabaddi which was introduced at the 2010 Asian Games. India won gold in the 2010 and 2014 editions but settled for a silver in 2018 after losing to Iran in the final.<\/p>\n
This time the Indians faced Chinese Taipei, an emerging kabaddi nation, in what turned out to be an edge-of-the-seat summit showdown.<\/p>\n
The two sides were tied 34-34 in the group league match, and both knew that it was going to be a tough final.<\/p>\n
Chinese Taipei took four points\u2014two from the raid and two for sending India All Out\u2014and that took them ahead at 21-19.<\/p>\n
At this point, captain Ritu Negi took a masterstroke of a decision as she stopped Pushpa from going for a raid. She sent Pooja instead who did a marvellous job as India got two points to lead 22-21.<\/p>\n
It was not over yet and the match got more intense as the two teams were locked 22-22, 23-23 and then 24-24.<\/p>\n
At that stage, raider Pushpa won a point for India as 53 seconds were left on the clock. Chinese Taipei took a review but that was turned down, sealing the fate of the match in Favour of India. “Chinese\u00a0Taipei are now a very strong side. They have trained in India in the past and will keep on improving. We also have to work harder and maintain our hold.\u201d<\/p>\n
India had lost to Iran in the final in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur players were a bit nervous towards the end but they kept themselves under control and ultimately pulled off the win,\u201d coach Edachery Bhaskaran said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
