Doha:The Indian challenge in swimming events of the Asian Games went virtually unnoticed as the lone Indian swimmer in the fray today failed to qualify for the final on the last day of competition here.

Arjun Muralidharan sank without trace in the men's 50m backstroke, finishing sixth in the heats with a timing of 28.15 sec to end the miserable campaign for the Indian swimmers.

None of the swimmers from India could qualify for the finals of their respective events while some of them even failed to record anywhere near their best timings.
