The Indian contingent brought the country's medal tally to 12 on Day 6 of the Commonwealth Games, thanks to Gulveer Singh and Harjinder Kaur earning a silver medal each. India's boxers also assured the nation of at least three more medals. Day 7 promises even more podium opportunities, starting with the women's 77 kg weightlifting final, where Sanjana enters as one of the top contenders. In athletics, Murali Sreeshankar and Lokesh Satyanathan will compete in the men's long jump final, while Manpreet Kaur features in the women's shot put final later in the evening. In boxing, Sakshi Choudhary, Jaismine Lamboria, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Yadav, and Narender Berwal take to the ring aiming to secure semi-final spots, which would guarantee further medals for the country.
