Commonwealth Games 2022 Day 8: India Medal Contenders to Watch

India's hope lies on the women's hockey team and freestyle wrestlers to bag some more medals on the eighth day of CWG 2022 Birmingham. Bajrang Punia, Deepak Punia enters quarterfinals on Day 8.

Indian athletes exhibited extraordinary sportsmanship in the past week, taking their medal tally to 20. Till now, India has won 6 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze medals. While Weightlifting was India’s strongest point, there are no medals in wrestling and hockey in CWG 2022.

India won two medals on Day 7 as Sudhir bagged gold in para-powerlifting, whereas Murali Sreeshankar bought the much-needed silver in men’s long jump. Hima Das was another big name who made it to the semi-finals of the 200-metre race.
