Wrestlers reigned supreme in Birmingham on Friday as India registered their best-ever day in the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 winning six medals including three gold. Bajrang Punia was a class apart while defending his title before Sakshi Malik and Deepak Punia too snatched the top prize.
Anshu Malik got a silver while Divya Kakran and Mohit Grewal brought home bronze. The rich haul on Day 8 also lifted India up to fifth place in the table with nine gold, eight silver and nine bronze. All eyes will be on the wrestlers once again on Day 9 while more medals from athletics are also awaited.
Don’t forget, India will start favourites to assure themselves a men’s hockey silver when Manpreet Singh-led side take on lowly South Africa in the semifinals. In badminton, PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth and Lakshya Sen, all will be in action in their respective singles encounters.
