India heads into Day 6 of the Commonwealth Games 2026 on the back of another productive day in Glasgow, winning six medals across three different sports.

On Tuesday, Harjinder Kaur and Gulveer Singh stole the spotlight for India, winning a silver medal each in the women's 69kg weightlifting and men's 10,000m, respectively, with record-breaking performances.

Meanwhile, three boxers - Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas and Jadumani Singh - progressed to the semi-finals of their respective weight categories to guarantee themselves at least bronze medals.

Elsewhere, Srihari Nataraj finished sixth in his semi-final and 12th overall, failing to make it past the men's 100m backstroke final. He clocked 55.52s.

Vishal TK, India's national record holder in the men's 400m, also advanced to the semi-finals with a 46.49s run.

    Boxing, Women's 54: Parveen concedes Round 2

    Right then, a lot of work to do for Parveen Hooda in this round, if she is to stay in the bout.

    But she is happy to stay out of reach and rely on landing counters. She'll have to take matters in her own hands sooner than later.

    Hickey, for now, seems to be imposing herself on the Indian. 

    Parveen is firmly on the back foot. She's trying hard to find some punches which'll keep her in it, but there's not much success.

    For the second round in a row, Hickey ends the round with a clean upper cut. Oof!
