India’s schedule at the Commonwealth Games 2026 today, July 28, is headlined by Gulveer Singh’s bid for a maiden CWG medal when he competes in the men’s 10000m final.
The national record holder and Asian champion lines up in a direct final, chasing his first podium finish at the quadrennial event.
India’s boxing campaign, meanwhile, reaches a pivotal stage, with five fighters in quarter-final bouts – each a win away from a guaranteed medal.
Preeti Pawar (women’s 54kg), Priya Ghanghas (women’s 60kg), Parveen Hooda (women’s 65kg), Jadumani Singh Mandengbam (men’s 55kg) and Kapil Pokhariya (men’s 90kg) all enter the ring at the SEC Centre, with a semi-final place and at least bronze on the line.
India’s weightlifters, the standout performers of these Commonwealth Games, look to extend their haul through Nirupama Devi Seram (women’s 63kg) and Birmingham 2022 bronze medallist Harjinder Kaur (women’s 69kg).
Mirabai Chanu’s historic third successive gold has anchored the weightlifting returns at Glasgow 2026, with further medals from Rishikanta Singh, Raja Muthupandi, Gyaneshwari Yadav, Valluri Ajaya Babu and Bindyarani Devi.
On the track, Rajesh Ramesh and Vishal TK open their men’s 400m campaigns in the heats, while Pooja Singh contests the women’s high jump final.
In the pool, Olympian Sajan Prakash (men’s 50m butterfly) and Srihari Nataraj (men’s 100m backstroke) are in heat and semi-final action, while para swimmers Ravi Veera Venkata Bhavani Karthik Budigna and Imam Ali contest the men’s S13 50m freestyle final.
India’s bowls involvement continues with the men’s pairs of Navneet Singh and Dinesh Kumar and women’s singles player Nayanmoni Saikia in sectional play.
