Asian Games 2022 is going to be a huge test of my ability as all of my competitors are masters of their trade," said Shikhar Chaudhary in a statement."Tirth got us the first medal in this title in the 2018 Asiad; I am going to put every ounce of energy this time into getting the gold medal for my country and continuing the medal run. I also want to acknowledge the Hearthstone India community for their support, and I believe that the road ahead will be a cumulative effort from the community. The Asiad will be a portentous evaluation of my skill but I have a firm belief in my zeal and hard work. And finally, thanks to ESFI for organizing the qualifiers efficiently," he added.ESFI is selecting the Team via the NESC '22 to represent India at the 2022 Asian Games, scheduled in Hangzhou, China from September 10-25, as the Esports has been included as the medal sport for the first time ever at the prestigious continental event.The second-placed athletes of FIFA, Street Fighter-V and Hearthstone will also be included in the Indian contingent.
