The 18th Asian Games will be a reality check for India's athletes after the Commonwealth Games high.
India had equalled their best performance in terms of medals won in the 2014 Asiad with a total of 57, including 11 gold, and the contingent of 572 athletes this time would be hoping to better that.
In all, close to 11,000 athletes from 45 countries will be in action at the Games from August 18 to September 2.
