New Delhi: India managed to get only one Bronze medal to slip to the 15th position in overall standings on the fifth day of competitions in the 17th Asian Games here today. Dushyant was the only athlete to manage a podium finish as he grabbed a bronze in the men's lightweight single sculls event on what turned out to be a mixed day for the Indian contingent.

The strong shooting squad, which had accounted for the bulk of medal collection so far, drew a blank today which led to India dropping one place in the medal table.

The badminton and squash teams had a good day in their respective matches but the women's hockey team lost 1-2 to China in a preliminary match. Boxer Akhil Kumar (60kg) also progressed to the pre-quarters along with Shiva Thapa (56kg).

L Devendro Singh has drawn Kuwait's A Fahad as his first round opponent in the men's 49 kg class while Manoj Kumar's first bout would be against Japan's K Masatsugu, in the 64 kg class and both bouts are slated for September 25, sixth day of the games.

With an aim to regain the men's hockey gold after 16 years, India will meet their arch rivals, the eight-time gold medallists Pakistan on Thursday.

With the addition of just one bronze on fifth day, India took their tally to 12 (1 gold, 1 silver, 10 bronze). Powerhouse China continued to lead the pack with 99 medals (50-25-24) followed by hosts South Korea with 70 medals (24-23-23) and Japan (64 = 18-23-23).
