Harinder Pal Singh Sandhu held his own to defeat Hong Kong’s Yip Tsz Fung in an exciting three-game affair to win gold in the men’s squash event at the Asian Beach Games in Phuket, Thailand on Sunday.
Apart from Sandhu, India won two bronze medals from Kush Kumar (men’s singles) and Aparajitha Balamurukan (women’s singles).
Harinder later said: “This is a superb tournament and I am proud to win a gold medal for my country. It has been a memorable week.
“Firstly, I was honoured when IOA selected me to carry the Indian flag at the opening ceremony and now, I am going home with a gold medal. Playing outdoors was special,” he added.
