Record Boxing Campaign

India's schedule at the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Saturday will be dominated by boxing, with a record 10 athletes, including Tokyo Olympian Lovlina Borgohain, set to compete in their respective finals, according to Olympics.com.

All 10 boxers secured victories in their semi-final bouts to guarantee at least silver medals and will now aim to finish on top of the podium in what has already been India's most successful boxing campaign in Commonwealth Games history. Lovlina Borgohain (women's 75kg), Sakshi Chaudhary (women's 51kg), Preeti Pawar (women's 54kg), Jaismine Lamboria (women's 57kg), Priya Ghanghas (women's 60kg), Arundhati Choudhary (women's 70kg), Jadumani Singh Mandengbam (men's 55kg), Sachin Siwach (men's 60kg), Ankush Panghal (men's 80kg) and Narender Berwal (men's +90kg) will battle for gold at the SEC Centre, according to Olympics.com.

Athletics Medal Hopes

In athletics, Gulveer Singh will compete in the men's 5000m final, aiming to add another medal to the silver he secured in the 10,000m event at Glasgow 2026. Triple jumpers Praveen Chithravel and Selva Prabhu Thirumaran will also be in action, hoping to recreate India's memorable 1-2 finish in the event achieved by Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker at the 2022 Birmingham Games. National record holder Dev Meena and Kuldeep Kumar will contest the men's pole vault final, while India's mixed 4x400m relay team will also compete for a podium finish. Olympian Priyanka Goswami will aim to go one step better than her silver medal at Birmingham 2022 when she takes part in the race walk event.

Judo Action Continues

In judo, India will look to continue its strong start after an historic opening day. Unnati Sharma (women's 63kg), Karanjit Singh Maan (men's 90kg), Harsh Tokas (men's 81kg) and Inunganbi Takhellambam (women's 70kg) will compete on Saturday. This comes after Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh won India's first-ever Commonwealth Games judo gold medals on Friday.

Bowls, Para Athletics and Cycling

In bowls, Navneet Singh and Dinesh Kumar will face England in a crucial men's pairs match, with the winner securing a place in the semi-finals. India will also have medal chances in para athletics and track cycling during the day's events.
