India are currently placed 10th in the Commonwealth Games 2026 medal tally on Day 4, with one silver and one bronze medal. India opened their account at Glasgow 2026 with para powerlifter winning bronze late on the second day of the Games. Rishikanta Singh then added to the tally on Sunday with a silver in men’s 60kg weightlifting. Boxer Lovlina Borgohain is assured of a medal after receiving a bye to the semifinals of the women’s 75kg event, guaranteeing her at least a bronze without stepping into the ring. However, her medal is not yet reflected in the official tally.
Australia are dominating the Games, leading the medal table with 23 medals (12 gold, five silver, and six bronze) after Day 3. England are second with 15 medals (3 gold, 7 silver, 5 bronze), while Nigeria occupy third with six medals (3 gold, 3 silver). Hosts Scotland are fourth with four medals (2 gold, 2 silver), followed by South Africa in fifth with six medals (2 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze).
Australia’s Swimming Dominance
Australia’s dominance has been driven largely by their performances in the swimming pool. Lani Pallister, Jenna Forrester, and Jenna Jones won gold medals on Day 2. The women’s and men’s 4x100m freestyle relay teams also completed sweeps, with the women’s team winning their eighth consecutive gold in the event.
India’s Medal Hopes
India are yet to win a gold, but several athletes remain in medal contention in general. Chief of them is Mirabai Chanu, who will be in action later in the day. She is gunning for her third Commonwealth Games gold and her fourth medal at the CWG overall. Boxer Sachin Siwach advanced to the pre-quarterfinals in the men’s 60kg category with a 4-1 split-decision win over Canada’s Keoma Al-Ahmadieh. The women’s lawn bowls pair of Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki Singh extended their unbeaten run with three consecutive wins.
India are also banking on their athletics contingent, with Neeraj Chopra, Avinash Sable, Parul Chaudhary, and Murali Sreeshankar among the key medal hopefuls.
