First up in action for India - we will start with Lawn Bowls!

Ever wondered what Lawn Bowls is? We've got you covered!

An incredibly fun sport, lawn bowls has been a part of every Commonwealth Games since its inception, except for the 1966 Games where it wasn't played due to lack of a proper venue!

The opening ceremony celebrated the city of Birmingham to the fullest!

Here are our favourite moments from the opening ceremony last night - gotta love these grand spectacles!

The opening ceremony had PV Sindhu and Manpreet Singh leading the Indian contingent!

Late into the wee hours of the night, the Indian contingent dazzled at the opening ceremony of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 with 2-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and Tokyo bronze medallist Manpreet Singh being the co-flagbearers for the Indian team.
