The 225-member strong Indian contingent continued to excel as the country's haul of medals increased with the athletes claiming as many as eight gold medals, five silver medals and three bronze medals across various competitions on the day.
A majority of these medals came from the boxing contingent with MC Mary Kom, Gaurav Solanki, Vikas Krishnan clinching gold medals in their categories while Amit, Manish Kaushik and Satish Kumar finished with the silver medal to end their campaign on a high.
Manika Batra created history by winning India's first-ever gold medal in the women's singles category while shooter Sanjeev Rajput etched his name as the new record holder for the highest score in the Men's 50m rifle three position event that also won him the gold medal.
Shooting

Table Tennis

In the mixed doubles category, Achanta Sharath/Mouma Das lost 2-3 to Gao Ning/Mengyu Yu while Sathiyan Gnanasekaran/Manika Batra fell to the guile of England's Liam Pitchford/Tin-Tin Ho. The two Indian teams will face off in the bronze medal clash tomorrow.
Achanta Sharath's positive run in the men's singles category was brought to a resounding halt by Nigeria's Aruna Quadri in four straight sets while his partnership with Gnanasekaran Sathiyan in the men's doubles was not enough to overcome the challenge posed by the English duo of Paul Drinkhall/Liam Pitchford in the semifinals.
