India’s Commonwealth Games 2026 campaign can achieve further prominence on Tuesday as the boxing contingent looks to confirm five more medals in the 23rd edition of the competition. Five Indian boxers are set to participate in the quarter-finals, and progression to the last four in their respective categories will at least assure the country of a bronze medal. The day promises several medal opportunities in weightlifting and athletics.
On the track, Gulveer Singh will line up in the men’s 10,000m final, aiming to deliver a strong performance against a competitive field. In the field events, Pooja Singh will represent India in the women’s high jump final during the evening session.
The boxing ring will also be busy for the Indian contingent. Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas, Kapil Pokhariya, and Jadumani Singh are all scheduled to compete in their respective quarterfinal bouts, with victories guaranteeing them a place in the medal rounds.
Weightlifting presents another chance for India to add to its medal tally. Nirupama Devi Seram and Harjinder Kaur will contest the finals in their respective weight categories, both hoping to finish on the podium.
In the pool, Srihari Nataraj begins his campaign in the men’s 100m backstroke. He will first compete in the heats and, if he progresses, return later in the day for the semifinal.
