Athletes from Karnataka returned with a creditable haul of four gold medals, three silvers and two bronzes from the 2026 Asian Games, which concluded in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Sunday.

The four golds mark an improvement from the 2022 edition in Hangzhou, China, where sportspersons from the State helped India secure three gold medals.

Karnataka’s gold medallists this time were Pranavi Urs in women’s individual golf, M.R. Poovamma in the women’s 4x400m relay, H.S. Mohith in men’s hockey and Shreyanka Patil in women’s cricket.

Poovamma and Pranavi also won silver medals as part of India’s 4x400m mixed relay and women’s golf teams, respectively. Golfer Aditi Ashok, who had finished runner-up in the individual event in Hangzhou, joined Pranavi on the podium in the team competition.

Another silver medal came through shooter Tilottama Sen in the women’s 50m rifle three positions event. In 2022, athletes from Karnataka had contributed four silver medals to India’s tally, one more than in 2026.

However, compared to the absence of bronze medals from Karnataka in Hangzhou, the State produced two bronze medallists in Aichi-Nagoya — Ayush Shetty in men’s team badminton and S.S. Sneha in the women’s 4x100m mixed relay.

Overall, with an increase in the number of gold and bronze medals, and only a marginal decline in silver medals, sportspersons from Karnataka improved on their performance from the previous Asian Games.

Meanwhile, the State government is planning to fete the Asian Games medalists later this week. Sources close to the Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said that the medal winners are likely to be invited by the Chief Minister and fete them on behalf of the State government.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday drafted in Sneh Rana as replacement for injured Shreyanka Patil for the remainder of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025.

Shreyanka, who has played 15 matches for RCB and has scalped 19 wickets with her off-spin, is ruled out of the third edition of tournament due to an unspecified injury.

“Challenges are tough, Shrey. But you’re tougher. We know how hard you tried to get fit before #WPL2025. And how badly you’ll miss being a part of our campaign, and we will carry your energy and spirit with us on the field as well!,” the RCB mentioned in a post on their official X account.

“Get well soon and come back stronger! Can’t wait to see you play in the Red Blue and Gold of RCB next year,” the franchise added.

Shreyanka had also missed the white ball assignments at home against the West Indies and Ireland last year because of an injury.

The 30-year-old Rana, who is an off-spin all-rounder, has previously played for Gujarat Giants in the WPL.

She has joined RCB for Rs 30 lakh.

She was the cynosure of all eyes on Sunday having played a massive role in RCB’s WPL triumph but Tuesday night gave ‘Purple Cap’ winner Shreyanka Patil a chance to enjoy a rare ‘Fan Girl’ moment with none other than Virat Kohli.

The 21-year-old off-spinner, who had been a revelation in both eliminator and final with her match-winning performances at the death, couldn’t stop gushing on social media when she realised that her childhood idol actually knew her name.

“Started watching cricket cos of him. Grew up dreaming to be like him. And last night, had the moment of my life,” she wrote on ‘X’, posting her picture alongside Kohli from the RCB ‘Unbox’ event.

“Virat said, ‘Hi Shreyanka, well bowled.’ He actually knows my name,” the surreal feeling was yet to sink and it was understandable from her post.

Shreyanka was picked up by RCB during inaugural WPL auctions last year at base price of Rs 10 lakh and she finished with six wickets in seven matches, the most for her team.

In September, the 21-year-old offie played in the CPL for Guyana Amazon Warriors, where she finished with the most wickets (9) in the tournament.

The performances were noticed by the Indian selectors, who called her up for the home T20 series against England in December last year and she made her national team debut on December 6.

Since then there has been no looking back for the youngsters, who battled many a injuries, to stake her claim in the national team with her performances.

Shreyanka has so far represented India in two ODIs and six T20Is, picking up four and and eight wickets respectively.
