Srihari Nataraj on cusp of history

The Bengaluru-based swimmer's personal best is 53.77s, which he'll look to emulate or even breach.

He's also in line to become the second Indian swimmer to win a Commonwealth Games medal. Prasanta Karmakar was India's first CWG swimming medalist, winning bronze in the para-swimming event in 2010.

At the Tokyo Olympics last year, Nataraj was the first Indian to swim in the classification A heat. He clocked 54:31s to finish 27th in the men's 100m backstroke event.

Nataraj has received good assistance from the Sports Authority of India and has also done well, competing in a plethora of events in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games. He's also part of the Sports Ministry's Target Olympic Podium Scheme.
