Commonwealth Games 2022 | Indians in action on August 5, 2022

With 18 medals — five gold, six silver and seven bronze — India are currently at the seventh spot.

The Indian women’s hockey team would look to draw inspiration from its Tokyo Olympics success when it takes on mighty Australia in the second semifinal of the Commonwealth Games on Friday.

Meanwhile, two new stars emerged on Thursday as debutants Sagar Ahlawat and Jasmine Lamboriya joined the seasoned Amit Panghal in the semifinals to confirm six medals for India in boxing at the Commonwealth Games.
