India have brought the curtains down on their campaign in the 17th Asian Games, maintaining their domination of kabaddi with two gold medals. On the penultimate day of competitions at Incheon on day, India rose a rung to eighth in the overall medal standings. The women's kabaddi team won their title-match against Iran quite comfortably by a 31-21 margin, to maintain their supremacy for the second edition running, having clinched gold when the event made its debut four years ago in Guangzhou.For the men's kabaddi team, it was not a cakewalk. They literally overcame a scare from Iran before notching up a 27-25 win in a thrilling final. It was their seventh successive gold medal in the event. Hammer thrower Manju Bala's medal was upgraded from bronze to silver after a Chinese competitor who finished ahead of her was caught for doping. With two gold medals coming on Friday, India were placed eighth on the table with a total haul of 57 medals – 11 gold,10 silver and 36 bronze.
