On day 7 of the Commonwealth Games 2022, India only won two medals (one gold and one silver), but there were encouraging results from the boxing ring, as well as the badminton and squash courts. Wrestling competitions begin on Friday as well. So Murali Sreeshankar had the day to himself. The 23-year-old from Kerala won silver in the men’s long jump, becoming the first Indian to do so. Sudhir then broke India’s medal drought by winning gold in men’s heavyweight para powerlifting with a Games record. Boxers Amit Panghal, Jasmine Lamboria, Sagar Ahalwat, and Rohit Tokas assured India of more medals earlier in the day by reaching the semi-finals.
Following a mixed bag of results in the team events, Indian badminton stars PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth, and Lakshya Sen have advanced to the Round of 16 in the individual events. Achanta Sharath Kamal, G Sathiyan, and Manika Batra are also off to winning starts in doubles events. In Group B, the Indian men’s hockey team defeated Wales 4-1 to advance to the semi-finals. India now has a total of 20 medals (six gold, seven silver, seven silver).
