Neha Aggarwal Sharma says doubles are India's biggest table tennis medal bet at Asian Games

Neha Aggarwal Sharma spoke about India’s table tennis medal hopes at the Asian Games on September 18, 2026.

She said the team has moved from being satisfied with a close loss to China to entering the Asian Games with a world No. 3 men’s doubles pair.

Aggarwal Sharma said the change in mindset is visible but that India still needs another generation to consistently challenge China, Japan and Korea; she identified mixed doubles, men’s and women’s doubles as genuine medal chances and discussed Manika Batra’s absence.
