aurabh
Chaudhary
became
India's
first
gold
medallist
shooter
at
the
Asian
Games
and
the
third
gold
medallist
from
India
at
the
Jakarta-Pelambeng
Games.
By
winning
gold
in
10m
Air
Pistol,
Saurabh
created
an
Asian
Games
record
of
240.7
points
by
taking
the
lead
over
2010
World
Champion
Tomoyuki
Matsuda
on
the
penultimate

in
the
24-shot
final.
A
quick
look
at
Saurabh
Chaudhary
India's
Asian
Games
gold
medallist:
Indian
batsman
Cheteshwar
Pujara
admitted
that
he
was
under
pressure
to
score
runs
and
credited
his
county
stints
for
providing
him
the
confidence
to
bat
in
English
conditions
and
overturn
his
poor
form
during
the
third
Test.
Pujara
overcame
a
poor
run
of
form
wherein
he
averaged
14.66
in
the
past
nine
innings,
with
his
last
half-century
coming
in
Johannesburg
on
a
green-top
against
South
Africa.
India's
Virdhawal
Khade
marginally
bettered
his
long-standing
national
record
to
get
closer
to
his
second
Asian
Games
medal
as
he
qualified
for
the
men's
50m
freestyle
final
by
clocking
22.43s
which
was
third
fastest
time
in
the
heats.
Khade,
who
won
a
bronze
at
the
Guangzhou
Games
in
2010,
faced
stiff
competition
from
Japan's
Shunichi
Nakao
(22.62)
but
emerged
the
fastest
in
the
eight-man
heat
5.
It
was
new
national
record
in
50m
freestyle
as
he
bettered
his
own
mark
of
22.52,
set
in
August
2009
at
Asian
Age
group
swimming
championships
in
Japan.
Overall,
Khade
was
third
behind
China's
Hexin
Yu
(22.21)
and
Hong
Kong's
Kenneth
King
Him
To
(22.38).
Anshul
Kothari
could
not
qualify
for
the
final
as
he
finished
28th
with
a
timing
of
23.83.
He
was
fastest
in
heat
1.
