# Kapil Dev urges Indian golfers to play fearlessly at Asian Games 2026-09-29T00:41:18+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets DP World PGTI president Kapil Dev has extended his best wishes to India's six-member golf contingent for the Asian Games in Japan. The squad comprises Yuvraj Sandhu, Saptak Talwar, Veer Ahlawat, Aditi Ashok, Diksha Dagar and Pranavi Urs. "Representing India at the Asian Games is the highest honour," Kapil Dev said, urging the golfers to "play fearlessly" and make the country proud. PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl said the men's trio earned the opportunity through consistent performances and have the ability to mount a strong medal challenge. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All sources relay Kapil Dev's pep talk without slant, making the framing uniformly neutral wire copy. No source contests the roster, the schedule, or the preparation details. The implication is that this is a low-stakes administrative story: the golf administration is doing its usual pre-event morale push.
