An action-packed Day 9 awaits the Indian contingent in Glasgow, with all eyes on Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra and India’s in-form boxing team.
Neeraj will chase his second Commonwealth Games medal, having won gold in the men’s javelin at the 2018 Gold Coast Games. He will be joined in the event by Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh as India eye another podium finish in athletics.
The boxing ring, however, promises to dominate the day’s action. India will have 10 boxers in semifinal action, all of whom have already secured at least a bronze medal. Victory on Thursday would guarantee them a place in the final and upgrade their medal to at least silver, while keeping alive hopes of gold.
India will also begin their judo campaign, while athletics offers more medal opportunities as competition continues in bowls and track cycling.
