Hangzhou: India outclassed Cambodia 3-0 in their opening match of the men's volleyball competition at the Asian Games on Tuesday thanks to a powerful performance.

In a Pool C match, India easily overcame lower-ranked Cambodia 25-14, 25-13, 25-19.

But a stern test awaits India on Wednesday as they are up against world No.27 South Korea, the other team in Pool C.

A total of 19 teams are participating in men's volleyball at the Hangzhou Games.

Japan, China and South Korea are regarded as the three major powerhouses of the competition, PTI reported.

While Japan has secured 27 podium finishes with 16 golds in men's volleyball at the Asian Games, China follows closely behind with 11 golds and Korea is on the third spot with five gold medals.

Men's volleyball was first introduced at the Tokyo Asian Games in 1958, where India secured a third position.

The Indian men have won a total of three volleyball medals so far. Their best performance came in 1962 when they were runners-up.

India's other two medals were bronze won in 1958 and 1986, the last of which came 37 years ago.
