India’s campaign at the Commonwealth Games 2026 has come to a conclusion in Glasgow, Scotland. Indian contingent won a total of 39 medals, including 13 gold, 17 silver, and 9 bronze, finishing the multi-sport event in a commendable 4th place on the overall medal table, after a series of memorable and record-breaking performances across disciplines.
India won 22 medals fewer compared to the previous edition of the CWG in Birmingham 2022, as the Glasgow Games featured a trimmed-down, cost-effective sports program focused on existing venues. This resulted in the exclusion of several disciplines where India traditionally dominates, including cricket, badminton, hockey, shooting, squash, and table tennis, which significantly impacted the overall medal count.
CWG 2026, THAT’S A WRAP! 🇮🇳❤️
