CWG 2022: Here is the schedule of India in action on Day 1

The 22nd edition of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) kicked off on Thursday with a colourful opening ceremony held at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. The event will witness over 1,000 athletes fighting for Commonwealth glory in the respective sporting categories for the next 11 days. India also happens to be a part of it, as it would be fielding 215 athletes. Having finished third in the medals tally last year at Gold Coast, it would aim for a similar or even better performance. In contrast, it has traditionally spent in the top-five in the medals chart in nearly every edition. Ahead of another successful stint, we present India's schedule for Friday (competitive Day 1 of the event).
