India defeated South Korea 3-2 to win bronze in the 14th Asian Men’s U18 Volleyball Championship in Tehran.
Ashish Swain, Aryan Baliyan, Khush Singh and Kartik Sharma played a significant role in the Indian team's win.
China finished fifth and Chinese Taipei was placed sixth at the end of the competition.
However, this is not the first time, India has won a medal in this event. In 2003, India won its first medal after defeating Iran to secure gold. Ever since, India has always come close to gold but has never it.
From 2005-2008, India has won two bronze and one silver medal, while coming a close fourth in 2010. The Indian U-18 team has qualified for the FIVB World U-19 Men’s Volleyball Championship.
