It was sweet revenge for eight-time champions India, who were beaten by Iran (18-27) in the semi-finals of the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta.
“We had lost to Iran at the Jakarta Asian Games. Aaj hamne badla liya [we got our revenge today]. We beat Iran twice in this championship. And this was not a tough game,” head coach Ashan Kumar, who led India to the gold medal at the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, told mid-day from Busan.
