Earlier, India received a massive setback as superstar PV Sindhu crashed out of the women's singles quarterfinals. The Indian shuttler lost in straight games to China's He Bingjiao (16-21 12-21) in what turned out to be a rather one-sided contest. However, HS Prannoy responded well for India by winning his quarterfinal clash which sent him to the semifinal and also assured him of a medal.
India also lost 0-4 to China in their women's hockey semifinal and they will now fight for bronze. Experienced Saurav Ghosal secured a silver in the men's singles squash final event before wrestler Antim won in the women's freestyle 53kg match. In the final event for the Indian contingent on Day 12, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty registered a comfortable win in the men's doubles quarter-final to assure at least a bronze medal.
