The men's squash team looked down and out with Saurav Ghosal pulling them level after Mahesh Mangaonkar had lost the first match. Ghosal's 3-0 victory against Muhammad Asim Khan put the onus on youngster Abhay Singh who was starting at defeat at 8-10 in the deciding game of the third match in the best of three contest. But the 25-year-old from Uttar Pradesh scripted a sensational, dramatic turnaround by winning the last four points to beat Pakistan's Noor Zaman and sealed a memorable victory and gold medal for India.

The mixed doubles pair of Bopanna and Rutuja Bhosale were also staring down the barrel after losing the first set 6-2. Bopanna had a brainwave and swapped the side of the court he was playing with his partner and they scripted a grand turnaround and won the match in the Match tie-breaker.
