India ended their Asian Games campaign with a total of 69 medals, including 15 gold, 24 silver and 30 bronze medals.

With this medal haul at the 2018 Games, India surpassed their highest Asian Games tally of 65 medals at the 2010 Guangzhou edition.

Rani Rampal led India to a successful Asian Games campaign as they came agonizingly close to winning an Asiad hockey gold after 36 years.

However, India, who made their first final in 20 years, failed to go past Japan, losing the final 1-2 to clinch silver medal. In the tournament, Rani scored three goals.
