India wrapped up their 2018 Commonwealth Games campaign on Sunday at the third spot on the overall tally with 26 Gold, 20 Silver and 20 Bronze medals. On the last day of the 21st edition of the CWG on Sunday, India won six medals, including one Gold, two Bronze, 3 Silver. Saina Nehwal won the only gold for India on Sunday in the women's singles final against compatriot PV Sindhu. The senior pro displayed superb form against Sindhu to clinch a 21-18, 23-21 victory in the high-pressure match that lasted an hour to bag India's 26th gold medal of the Games leaving Sindhu with the 20th Silver medal. The other silver medal was bagged by World No 1 Indian Kidambi Srikanth who lost the final 1-2 against Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei. India's last silver for the CWG 2018 was bagged by Indian men's doubles pair of Satwik RankiReddy and Chirag Shetty, who were defeated by a much more experienced English pair of Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge.

The Indian contingent had twelve members, all of whom have won a medal, including five Gold.

Coming ahead of the Asian Games, this splendid performance of the athletes is sure to boost its chances in Jakarta and Palembang in Indonesia later this year.
