India will look to build on its best day yet at the 2026 Commonwealth Games when several medal hopefuls return to action on Tuesday. Weightlifting once again headlines the schedule, with Nirupama Devi Seram and Harjinder Kaur chasing podium finishes after the discipline delivered the bulk of India’s medals in Glasgow.

Athletics also promises a busy evening. National record holder Gulveer Singh will line up in the men’s 10,000m final, while Pooja Singh will contest the women’s high jump final. Long jump finalist M. Sreeshankar, who qualified comfortably on Monday, will also be among India’s key medal hopes later in the competition.

In the pool, Sajan Prakash and Srihari Nataraj will aim to progress from the heats, while India’s boxers continue their medal push with four quarter-final bouts scheduled through the day.

Athletics also produced encouraging results. M. Sreeshankar cleared the automatic qualification mark of 8.00m with his opening jump of 8.01m to seal a place in the men’s long jump final. Lokesh Sathyanathan also progressed after finishing among the top 12 qualifiers across both groups.

India’s boxing contingent continued its impressive run with Sachin Siwach (men’s 60kg) and Ankush (men’s 80kg) advancing to the quarter-finals, joining a growing list of Indian pugilists now just one win away from guaranteeing themselves a Commonwealth Games medal.
