Ghosal, Tandon inspire India to first-ever gold at Asian Team Squash
Hindustan TimesDown 0-1 with Saurav Ghosal trailing 1-2 in the second tie of the best-of-three semi-final against Malaysia on Thursday, the Indian men’s squash team stared at the familiar territory of being unable to go all the way at the Asian Team Squash Championships. In the final on Friday, the two turned up again to deliver a 2-0 victory over Kuwait and a first gold medal for the Indian men’s team from the biennial event. Ghosal, turning it around against Yow 11-9, 3-11, 8-11, 11-7, 11-9, pulled them out before Tandon pushed them over the line and towards the most prominent team triumph after the 2014 Asian Games gold. So there have to be people coming behind us to carry it forward.” The gold also puts the men's team in good stead for next year's Asian Games, where it won a bronze in 2018.
