Day 2 of the ongoing Commonwealth Games saw India's opening its medal tally with weightlifter Sanket Sargar clinching a silver medal in the 55kg weight category. Soon after, Gururaja Poojary won a bronze medal in the 61kg weight category and then Mirabai Chanu really made the day shine with her gold in the women's 49kg category. In badminton, India ended up winning the mixed team event matches after defeating Sri Lanka 5-0 and then Australia 4-1 while pugilist Mohammed Hussamuddin defeated South Africa's Amzolele Dyeyi in the men's featherweight category to move into the pre-quarterfinals, and Lovlina Borgohain also progressed to the quarters in her light middleweight category.
