India won the gold medal in the Asian Games 2023 men's cricket tournament due to better T20 rankings after the final against Afghanistan was called off due to rain in Hangzhou, the People's Republic of China, on Saturday.
The Indian men's cricket team won the title on its debut. Cricket at the Asian Games has been played at two previous editions (2010, 2014), but India had opted to skip both of them.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, picked up their third straight silver medal in Asian Games men's cricket. (ANI)
