Incheon: The past two days have put Indian squash into the kind of focus it has never had in the past. If Sunday belonged to Dipika Pallikal, who grabbed the first-ever individual women's squash medal in Asian Games, Monday was reserved for Saurav Ghosal, who secured his first-ever Asian Games final.

Should he win the final, where he is the favourite against Kuwaiti, Abdullah Al-Muzayen, ranked No 44 in the world, Ghosal, now World No 16, will become India's first-ever squash gold medallist at Asian Games. But then no Indian has reached the final either.
