The big picture
India’s Hangzhou breakthrough was built on depth — shooting and athletics delivered close to half the medals — plus statement wins in cricket, kabaddi, badminton and hockey. In Nagoya, the target is simple but steep: back up a century-plus and climb the medal table. With the same core sports carrying the load, another record haul is well within reach.
