India walks into Day 6 of the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow riding real momentum. A four-medal haul on Day 5 pushed the country’s tally to 10, and Tuesday brings another packed schedule across weightlifting, boxing, athletics, and para-sports — with two genuine gold contenders on the platform.

Weightlifting Leads the Charge Again
Weightlifting has quietly been India’s most consistent medal source in Glasgow, and Day 6 keeps that streak alive. Nirupama Devi Seram takes to the platform in the women’s 63kg final, followed later in the night by Harjinder Kaur in the 69kg category. Kaur already has Commonwealth Games pedigree — she won bronze at Birmingham 2022 — and India’s weightlifting unit has been the country’s most reliable medal engine heading into this edition, following strong showings from Gyaneshwari Yadav, Bindyarani Devi, and Valluri Ajaya Babu just a day earlier.
Boxing Brings Three Shots at the Podium
India’s boxing contingent has three quarterfinal bouts lined up, each one a straight ticket to a guaranteed medal if won. Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas, and Parveen Hooda all step into the ring against tough opposition from Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England respectively — a tall order, but exactly the kind of pressure India’s boxers have handled well in past editions.
Athletics and Para-Sports Round Out the Day
Pooja Singh’s women’s high jump final offers another direct medal opportunity, while India’s para-swimming pair, Ravi Veera Venkata Bhavani Karthik Budigina and Imam Ali, look to build on their heats performance in the men’s 50m freestyle S13, provided they qualify for the final. Earlier in the day, swimmer Sajan Prakash and sprinters Rajesh Ramesh and Vishal TK were also in action, alongside Srihari Nataraj in the 100m backstroke heats.
Why Day 6 Matters
After Day 5’s four-medal showing — headlined by Sharmila Dhankar becoming India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games gold medallist in para athletics — the contingent has real confidence heading into Tuesday. With six medal events on the board, Day 6 has the potential to be one of India’s strongest single days at these Games.
