After a spectacular return of medals on Day 8, Indian athletes would hope that medals continue to rain on Day 9 of Commonwealth Games 2022 as well. Indian wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Deepak Punia, Sakshi Malik, Anshu Malik, Divya Kakran and Mohit Grewal made the nation proud with their performances.
Having won 3 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals on Friday, India will hope that plenty more will follow on Saturday as well, with the likes of Amit Panghal, Nikhat Zareen, Ravi Kumar, Vinesh Phogat, and Pooja Gehlot all in action.
Currently, India sit pretty in fifth place in the Commonwealth Games 2022 standings with 26 medals, after overtaking Scotland and South Africa on Day 8.
A triple threat!
