Badminton: India defeats Nepal, earns spot in the men's team semis

The Indian men's badminton team, comprising Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth, and Mithun Manjunath, secured a decisive 3-0 victory against Nepal in the quarter-final match at the Asian Games 2023. All three Indian players won their matches in straight games in Hangzhou, ensuring India another medal in this edition of the games.

In the upcoming semi-final, India will face either Indonesia or the Republic of Korea. It's noteworthy that India has never won a gold or silver medal in the men's team event at the Asian Games, making this a historic opportunity for the team.
