"I congratulate you for not just topping the medal tally but also for winning double the number of medals than the second country. When you win, it is never an individual victory - it is the country that wins, and every Indian feels proud of your achievements," Mandaviya said. "You represent the spirit of New India, and what you accomplish today will define the sporting history of tomorrow. With this performance, expectations from you at the Asian Games will rise.
