    China Textile City Sports Centre:  While the off-field diplomatic tiff between the governments of India and China over the denial of accreditation to three wushu players from Arunachal Pradesh getting all the attention, Indian sportspersons hogged the limelight in the field too with the country registering important wins in men's volleyball and men's and women's table tennis competitions.

    The men's volleyball team remained on course for a medal for the first time in nearly four decades when it defeated Chinese Taipei in a cross-over match for the top 12 positions and made it to the quarterfinals with a convincing straight games victory against Chinese Taipei, the bronze medallist in the previous edition in Indonesia in 2018.

    India defeated Chinese Taipei 3-0 (25-22, 25-22, 25-21) in one hour and 20 minutes at the China Textile City Sports Centre Gymnasium, thus setting up a quarterfinal clash with former champions Japan. The Indian team, which had defeated 2018 Games silver medallist South Korea in their preliminary group match, will go into the clash with Japan in a bullish mood having got the better of two top-level teams already in the competition.
