The Indian cricket team did lose a close game against Australia. But apart from that, India did well in sports it was supposed to do well. It won in women’s hockey, TT, Badminton, Squash and Boxing. Srihari Natraj qualifying for the Swimming Semi-Finals was a breath of fresh air for the Indian contingent where Sajan Prakash and Kushagra Singh failed to move ahead of their respective heats.
In Badminton, India thrashed Pakistan 5-0 without even breaking a sweat so to say. The Indian Women’s hockey team too won comfortably, although the margin of victory 5-0 against Ghana, could have been way better. India’s only boxer in the fray, Shiva Thapa also beat his Pakistani counterpart Baloch with a unanimous 5-0 win.
The Indian peddlers and Squash players were also brilliant as India’s 14-year-old Squash sensation Anahat Singh won her Round of 64 Women’s Singles match 3-0. Abhay Singh too won his Round of 64 game 3-0 and both advanced to Round of 32. The Indian Men’s Table Tennis team beat both Barbados and Singapore 3-0 each to advance to the quarter-final. Sharath Kamal did well to win two games from behind against Singapore.
In other games such as Cycling, Lawn Bowls and Swimming, India wasn’t really supposed to do great and they did not either. Though India did win a game in Lawn Bowls against the Falkland Islands.
