India at Commonwealth Games 2026

Indian athletes posted a mix of successes and setbacks at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. In the opening days, swimmer Sajan Prakash qualified for the men’s 200 m butterfly final, while long jumper Murali Sreeshankar and hurdler Tejas Shirshe advanced to their respective finals. Weightlifter Raja Muthupandi earned a silver medal, adding to earlier golds such as Mirabai Chanu’s.

As the competition progressed, attention narrowed on the track events. Tejas Shirshe secured a place in the 110‑metre hurdles final with a 13.76‑second run, positioning himself for a potential podium. In contrast, sprinter Gurinderveer Singh failed to move beyond the 100‑metre heats, finishing 28th with a time of 10.39 seconds, well off his season‑best performances. Together, the results illustrate India’s uneven performance: strong showings in some disciplines, notably hurdles and swimming, alongside disappointment in the sprint events.

Overall, the Indian contingent demonstrated depth across multiple sports but faced mixed outcomes in athletics, highlighting both medal prospects and areas needing improvement.
