Murali Sreeshankar and Gulveer Singh added silver medals as India collected more athletics podium finishes and Vithya Ramraj set a national record.
- On Monday, Indian long jumper Murali Sreeshankar clinched the silver medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games with a best jump of 8.07m at the Paloma Mizuho Athletics Stadium.
