India’s men’s squash team, consisting of Saurav Ghoshal, Abhay, and Mahesh Mangaonkar, staged an incredible comeback to secure India’s second-ever squash gold medal at the tournament. Initially trailing 0-1 after losing the first match, the Indian team’s fortunes took a turn when Saurav Ghoshal orchestrated a remarkable turnaround. Abhay Singh then sealed a nail-biting victory in his best-of-five match with a score of 3-2, ultimately propelling India to clinch the gold medal with a 2-1 win in the best-of-three match series.
Brilliant performance by India’s Squash team
In the final match, Abhay Singh faced off against Noor Zaman after the first two matches had failed to determine a clear winner. The two exceptional players engaged in a thrilling five-game contest that reached its climax in the final game. Abhay found himself in a tough spot, trailing 8-10 in the decisive fifth game, with no margin for error as a single point could have cost India the gold.
However, Abhay exhibited remarkable composure, saving those two crucial points before triumphing in the final game with a score of 12-10. This victory marks India’s second-ever gold medal in squash at the Asian Games, following their win in the 2014 men’s event.
Prior to Abhay Singh’s pivotal match, Mahesh Mangaonkar and Saurav Ghoshal also competed. Mahesh suffered a significant setback, losing in straight sets. Ghoshal then took matters into his own hands, defeating Pakistan‘s Muhammad Asim in three straight games. Abhay Singh’s remarkable performance was the crowning moment in this historic match.

Chiyaan Vikram Returns in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2—An Action Thriller with a Unique Storytelling Twist
Chiyaan Vikram is set to captivate audiences in the highly anticipated Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, slated for a 2025 release. The film, directed by Arun Kumar, promises an action-packed thriller with an emotional core, delving into themes like violence, forgiveness, and guilt.
Interestingly, this sequel will debut before its prequel, a bold and unconventional decision by the filmmakers. Arun Kumar explained the reasoning behind this narrative choice in an interview, stating, “The sequel captures a specific night’s events, allowing us to meet the characters first. The prequel will later reveal their deeper backstories.” This storytelling method aims to maintain suspense while delivering impactful drama.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu (in his Tamil debut), Dushara Vijayan, and Siddique. Arun Kumar, known for his nuanced storytelling in Chithha, promises a simple yet gripping narrative for this action thriller.
Adding to the film’s allure is music composer GV Prakash Kumar, reuniting with Vikram for the fourth time after Deiva Thirumagal, Thaandavam, and Thangalaan.
Chiyaan Vikram’s last appearance in Thangalaan showcased his dynamic acting as a fierce tribal leader. In Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, fans can expect another power-packed performance from the versatile star.
As audiences eagerly await the release, Arun Kumar’s unique approach and Vikram’s captivating presence ensure Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 will be a must-watch for action-thriller enthusiasts.
