India enjoyed a sensational Saturday at the Commonwealth Games 2026, producing one of the greatest single-day performances in the country's history. The Indian contingent collected 16 medals, including eight gold, making it the highest medal haul by India on a single day at the Commonwealth Games.

The biggest contribution came from the boxing ring, where Indian pugilists delivered a historic performance by winning seven gold medals - the nation's best-ever boxing showing at the Games. Five of those titles were won by women, underlining India's dominance in the sport.

The golden run began with Preeti Pawar, who claimed the women's 54kg title. She was followed by Jaismine Lamboria (57kg), Sakshi Chaudhary (51kg), Priya Ghanghas (60kg) and Arundhati Chaudhary (70kg), while Sachin Siwach (60kg) and Ankush Panghal (80kg) secured gold medals in the men's categories.
