The Indian contingent during the Commonwealth Games 2022 has finished with 61 medals. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and other sports stars have wished the delegation for its efforts.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games (USA) ended on Monday. India finished fourth in the medals tally, bagging 61 medals, which included 22 golds, 16 silvers and 23 bronze medals. As a result, the entire nation of India was impressed by the contingent's performance. At the same time, celebrities across genres, including sportspersons from across the field, lauded the delegation for its die-hard efforts, besides making the nation proud again. However, it is not India's best performance in the CWG to date, which was back in 2010, when it had won 101 medals.
