While Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra’s absence would definitely be a huge blow for India, nonetheless, an Indian contingent comprising of 215 athletes will be hoping to cross the century mark in the medal tally.
India won a total of 66 medals – 26 gold, 20 silver, and 20 bronze – at the 2018 CWG in Gold Coast, although 16 of those medals came in shooting, which won’t be a part of the games this time around.
With 101 medals won in 2010, at the New Delhi Games, India finished second overall at the Commonwealth Games, their best ever result. While fans will be hoping for a similar finish, without shooting, other sports like badminton, wrestling, boxing and weightlifting will be expected to do the padding.
