The Indian contingent wrapped up an excellent campaign at the 2022 Commonwealth Games (CWG) on Monday (August 8) with a rich haul of 61 medals to finish fourth in the medal standings.
PV Sindhu led India's gold rush on the final day of the Birmingham Games, with fellow shuttlers Lakshya Sen and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty joining in. Legendary paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal added one more gold medal to India's tally, with Sathiyan Gnanasekaran contributing a bronze.
In the men's hockey final, India had to be content with the silver medal after being hammered 0-7 by Australia.
With a flurry of medals on the final day, the contingent finished their memorable CWG 2022 outing with 22 gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze. While 35 were brought home by the male athletes, the women grabbed 23 medals. India further pocketed three more medals through mixed events.

Indian athletes collected a total of 66 medals at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, out of which 16 were from shooting. Considering that shooting wasn't a part of the 2022 edition, this was indeed a commendable effort.
Right before the Birmingham Games were to begin, India suffered a massive blow with Olympic gold medalist and defending men's javelin throw champion Neeraj Chopra pulling out due to a groin injury. His absence ultimately didn't make much of a difference to India's medal count as the contingent put in an all-round effort to break new ground in multiple sports.

This time wrestling delivered the maximum medals (12), out of which six were glittering gold. Weightlifting was the next best with 10 medals. Athletics was the third-most successful sport for India in Birmingham, contributing as many as eight medals. It was a massive rise of five medals from the three that India had pocketed at the Gold Coast Games.
