2018 Commonwealth Games will be held in Gold Coast, Australia
India has sent a 326-member contingent, including 218* (including eight para-athletes) athletes, for the 2018 Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast, Australia starting on April 4. Hosts Australia said the Games will restore the country's battered sporting reputation after the cricket ball-tampering scandal which drew criticism from around the world. The ball-tampering saga came days before the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games and Peter Beattie, chairman of local organisers GOLDOC, said: "Cricket has obviously damaged our national standing but the Commonwealth Games will restore it, very simply."
In the last three editions, the Indian contingent has amassed a total of 215 medals -- 50 in 2006, 101 in 2010 and 64 in 2014 -- and thus it comes as no surprise that with a larger pool of athletes, fans are expecting a string of podium finishes.
