The 19th edition of the Asian Games was initially slated for 2022 but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic in China last year. In the 2018 Asian Games held in Jakarta, India sent a contingent comprising 570 athletes and achieved a remarkable tally of 70 medals, including an impressive haul of 16 gold medals. This achievement marked a historic high for India in terms of medal count at the Asian Games.
