When the sport was introduced at the Jakarta Asian Games, five years ago, India clinched a gold (men’s pair) and two bronze medals (men’s team and mixed team) in Bridge.
India will be aiming for an encore of that, with an 18-member squad, which will take part in three categories - Open, Women’s and Mixed.
