Monday saw Indian athletes add three more medals officially to the tally through judo and weightlifting, but that was not all.
Defending champions in badminton mixed team event and men’s table tennis team event, India reached the finals once again. PV Sindhu, Srikanth & Co and Sharath Kamal, Sathiyan & Co will be looking to retain their title as CWG action continues on Tuesday in Birmingham at the Commonwealth Games.
Having already created history, the team of Rupa Rani Tirkey, Pinki, Nayamoni Saikia and Lovely Choubey will look to go the distance in women’s fours lawn bowls final against South Africa.
And the much-awaited part of any multi-sport Games, track and field begins on Tuesday too with Sreeshankar in qualification action and a final lined up in one of India’s pet events at CWG, the women’s discus throw where 2018 medallists Seema Punia Antil and Navjeet Kaur Dhillon return to action.
