India will look to carry the momentum from an eventful second day into Day 3 of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Saturday, July 25. The contingent finally opened its medal account on Friday after para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar battled his way to a bronze in the men's heavyweight event, capping an inspiring journey from rural Bihar to the Commonwealth podium.The medal came after an otherwise mixed day for India. Boxer Jadumani Singh advanced to the pre-quarterfinals with a commanding victory over Scotland's Aaron Cullen, while the lawn bowls contingent continued to impress. Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki secured their second straight win in the women's pairs, and Putul Sonowal maintained his unbeaten run in the men's singles to boost India's knockout hopes.There were, however, disappointments elsewhere. India's swimmers were unable to challenge for medals despite Srihari Nataraj reaching the men's 50m backstroke semifinals, while para powerlifters Ashok Malik, Jaspreet Kaur and Suman Devi narrowly missed podium finishes. The campaign was also overshadowed by the doping-related suspension of judoka Tulika Maan, one of India's leading medal prospects, before the Games began.India at Commonwealth Games: Full schedule With confidence growing in lawn bowls and boxing, and artistic gymnastics offering another medal opportunity, India will hope to add to its tally on Day 3.
