India secured its third silver medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games after Gyaneshwari Yadav finished runner-up in the women's 53 kg weightlifting event in Glasgow. The silver took India's overall medal tally to five — one gold, three silver and one bronze — with all medals so far coming in weightlifting and para-powerlifting.
India will have another opportunity to add to its medal haul later in the day when Bindyarani Devi competes in the women's 58 kg weightlifting final, scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. IST.
Following Gyaneshwari's podium finish, India moved to eighth place in the Commonwealth Games medals table, trailing seventh-placed Malaysia on the basis of gold medals won.
India will look to add to its medal tally at the 2026 Commonwealth Games as athletes compete across weightlifting, boxing, athletics, swimming and para swimming on Tuesday, July 28.
