India hit their 100-medal target for the Hangzhou Asian Games on Saturday when their women's kabaddi team beat Taiwan in a 26-25 thriller to take the gold.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the tally a "momentous achievement", saying in a post on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, "The people of India are thrilled that we have reached a remarkable milestone of 100 medals."
Kabaddi, a game that began in India, is akin to a cross between tag and rugby, played on a court the length of badminton court but slightly wider, usually in a seven-against-seven player format.
