CWG 2026: Day 4 schedule for the Indian contingent in Glasgow
Glasgow, July 26
Olympic medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu will go for a third successive gold in the Commonwealth Games and add to the country's medal tally, while India will be hoping to advance to the medal rounds when the Women's Pairs team takes up the challenge on a crucial day of competitions for India in the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow on Sunday.
Mirabai, who won gold medals in the 2018 and 2022 editions in Gold Coast and Birmingham, respectively, is hoping to continue her record as the most successive woman competitor in the Commonwealth Games.
In the swimming and para-swimming competitions, the men's 4x200m freestyle team will try to get through the heats and make a mark in the relays.
The main attraction for India besides Mirabai will be the women's pairs team in lawn bowls with Rupa Rani Tirkey, and Pinki will be taking on a pair from England to maintain their hopes of winning a medal and continue India's superb run in the Commonwealth Games following their superb performance four years back in Birmingham.
In the boxing ring, Priti Pawar will launch her campaign in the Round of 16 stage of Women's 54kg against Deborah Mtenje of Malawi while Jadumani Singh will face Pakistan's Sumama Rehman in the Men's 55kg.
Late in the evening, weightlifter Raja Muthupandi will compete in the Men's 65kg competition, hoping to add to India's dominant performance in the sport at the Commonwealth Games.

The schedule is packed! I'm really excited about the lawn bowls event with Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki taking on England. Their performance in Birmingham was brilliant, and I hope they can replicate it. Go girls! 🥇
Is it just me or does the number of events feel a bit thin this year? I mean, boxing is almost all at late night, and Raja Muthupandi's event is at 11:15 PM. These timings are not very viewer-friendly for Indian fans who have work the next day. 🤔
I love how India is emerging in lawn bowls now. From almost zero in previous Games to actually competing for medals – it shows the depth in Indian sports beyond cricket. Rupa Rani Tirkey is a true star! ✨
The schedule says Mirabai Chanu's event at 6:45 PM, but the intro says "Olympic medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu will go for a third successive gold" – well, she's not an Olympic medallist yet (she won silver in Tokyo), and the article misstates that. Otherwise, all the best to her! 💪
The boxing matches look interesting – especially Jadumani Singh vs Sumama Rehman from Pakistan. Indo-Pak clashes always bring extra emotion. Let's hope for a clean victory and good sportsmanship from both sides. 🇮🇳💪
