Shreyas Iyer hails 'champion team' after India win Asian Games gold

India claimed the men's cricket gold medal at the Asian Games after overcoming Pakistan by 19 runs in the tournament finale. Captain Shreyas Iyer praised his squad for maintaining focus despite a week of severe weather disruptions that prevented outdoor training in Japan.

After setting a target of 211 runs, the Indian bowlers successfully defended the total, highlighted by key dismissals executed during the later stages of the chase. Hasan Nawaz led Pakistan's effort with a brilliant knock of 96 runs, though India ultimately sealed the victory to secure consecutive gold medals in the regional competition.
