The India men’s hockey team kicked off its campaign in the Commonwealth Games with a high-octane clash against Pakistan and it lived up to it’s billing.

Pakistan equalised with no time left on the clock through a controversial penalty corner. The match ended 2-2.

In the racket sports, the badminton stars and paddlers went through to the semi-finals but Joshna Chinappa’s campaign came to an end.

But the golden lining to the day was once again provided by the weightlifters. S Satish and RV Rahul clinched gold medals to spread some cheer among the camp.
