India vs Thailand kabaddi, Asian Games 2023 Group A men’s match, result and scores

The Indian men’s kabaddi team maintained its unbeaten run at the Asian Games 2023 with a 63-26 win over Thailand at the Xiaoshan Guali Sports Centre in Hangzhou, the People’s Republic of China on Wednesday.

The margin of 37 points helped India, led by Pawan Sehrawat, stay on top of the Asian Games 2023 kabaddi Group A points table, for now. Chinese Taipei also have two wins out of two but have a points difference of +37 compared to India’s +74.

Raiders Naveen Kumar and Arjun Deshwal helped the Indian kabaddi team make a brisk start with quick raids in the opening minutes. Just like in the opening game against Bangladesh, India took no time to inflict an all-out on Thailand and raced to an 11-2 lead in the opening five minutes.

Thailand’s Pramot Saising responded with a super raid to make it 15-5. Nevertheless, India soon revived their star raider Naveen Kumar and later Parvesh Bhainswal and Sunil Kumar to resume their charge.
