India heads into Day 4 of the Commonwealth Games 2026 looking to build on Jhandu Kumar's bronze medal, with several medal hopefuls in action across weightlifting, boxing, bowls, gymnastics and swimming.
The spotlight was on Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu, who bagged her third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal. Meanwhile, Rishikanta Singh and Raja Muthupandi bagged silver medals in their respective weight categories.
Elsewhere, boxers Preeti Pawar and Jadumani Singh reached the quarterfinals, while Aditya Pratap Yadav lost out in the round of pre-quarterfinals.
On the other hand, Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki Singh had two bowls matches. Putul Sonowal, Tapan Mohanty, and the Indian men's swimming relay team were also in action.
As it happened:
Indian weightlifters impressed on Day 4, with the Veteran Mirabai Chanu clinching her third consecutive gold medal and Rishikanta Singh and Raja Muthpandi winning silver medals.
Meanwhile, in Bowls, the Indian Women's Pairs team had a heartbreaking end, losing to England in the final bowl of the tiebreak and failing to qualify for the semi-finals.
The Action will resume on Monday, with 11 medal events scheduled, including four in athletics, three in weightlifting, two in swimming and one in artistic gymnastics.
27th July Schedule here:
Indian quartet of Srihari Nataraj, Aryan Nehra, Aneesh Gowda and Dhakshan Shashikumar improved their qualifying time by 10 seconds, but it wasn't enough for them to enter the top 5.
Aneesh Gowda has the best time among the four Indian runners, clocking 1:51.52s, followed by Srihari (1:51.61s), Dhakshan (1:52.78s) and Aryan Nehra (1:53.93s).
Indian quartet of Srihari Nataraj, Aryan Nehra, Aneesh Gowda and Dhakshan Shashikumar will be in action at the men's 4x200m freestyle final at 1:56 AM IST.
They will be aiming to improve their qualifying time of 7:39.48s and may try to achieve a top-5 finish with a new national record.
Current Indian National record: 7:23.38s.
Here is the startlist:
Just two clean lifts out of six attempts for the Indian, but that's more than enough for the podium.
Yeah, that's not even a proper attempt from Raja Muthupandi. The Malaysian had already put the gold past him with his 166kg second attempt.
Muthupandi comes, tries something, and walks off. Doesn't matter.
He takes silver medal. India is now 3/3 in weightlifting!
Raja Muthupandi is going to attempt a 170kg lift with his final attempt. He is going all out to surpass the Malaysian.
Can he though?
An epic comeback from Nuhu Batte, who completely dominated Aditya with his aggressive play in the final round, taking it unanimously 5-0
Aditya couldn't find an answer to the gameplay of the Ugandan boxer and looked very exhausted in the final round, losing the match 2-3 despite a 5-0 lead after the first round.
He is now the first Indian boxer to concede a defeat at these games, ending his campaign in the prequarterfinals.
Despite the miss at 158kg, Raja Muthupandi goes up to 160kg.
And he lifts it this time without a fuss. That's a new Commonwealth Games record!
The Indian goes to the gold medal position with the caveat that the Malaysian is yet to start his clean & jerk attempts.
Raja Muthupandi drops his starting weight to 158kg from 160kg in clean and jerk.
But it doesn't do him any good as he drops it!
Can he bounce back with a good lift?
