The Indian table tennis contingent here is on a roll. A day after clinching a historic first Asian Games table tennis medal men-s team bronze, India-s mixed doubles team of Achanta Sharath Kamal and Manika Batra won bronze yesterday. The Indian pair beat North Korea-s An Ji Song and Cha Hyo Sim 4-11, 12-10, 6-11, 11-6, 11-8 to enter the semi-finals where they lost 9-11, 5-11, 13-11, 4-11, 8-11 to China-s Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha for bronze.

Veteran Kamal was over the moon after the win. "This is big, even bigger than the gold we won at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. This is huge. I mean... one medal was big enough and now we have two. Dhoom mach jayegi India mein [there will be celebrations in India]," said an elated Kamal.
