The Commonwealth Games began on July 29, and the Indian delegation had a mixed bag on the opening day. The Indian badminton team defeated Pakistan 5-0, with PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth demonstrating their brilliance. The Indian women’s cricket team, on the other hand, suffered a disheartening defeat against Australia at Edgbaston. In boxing, Shiva Thapa handily defeated Pakistan’s Suleman Baloch in the Round of 32. The Indian women’s hockey team easily trounced Ghana, while Kushagra Rawat was eliminated in the Men’s 400m Freestyle event after finishing last in Heat 3. Anahat Singh, a 14-year-old squash player, earned a victorious start in the women’s singles category. The Indian women’s table tennis team also won 3-0 over South Africa.
The spotlight on the second day will be on weightlifter Mirabai Chanu and whether she can assist India to open its account in terms of medals today.
