The 23-year-old long jumper is also among the contenders for a podium finish at the Commonwealth Games. He jumped 8.36m this year at the Federation Cup to increase hopes from him. Notably, Sreeshankar had earlier failed to live up to the expectations in Tokyo Olympics by finishing his heats at the 13th spot. His best jump at the event in 2021 was 7.69m.

Sreeshankar would be hoping to come up with his A game at Birmingham which can surely land him a medal.
