Generally, in any event, the runners-up claim the silver medal. While it is an honour for anyone, it is also heartbreaking to miss out on the gold medal in the closest way. While India produced some memorable stories at the Asian Games 2026, the country recorded 27 silver medals out of 85 overall medals. At the Asian Games 2026, India finished in fourth place in the battle for silver medals.
