India’s Commonwealth Squad Eyes Gold as Chanu and Borgohain Carry the Tricolour

With Mira Bai Chanu and Loveline Borgohain entrusted to carry the Indian flag at the Glasgow opening ceremony, the nation’s Commonwealth team is setting high expectations for the competition. Chanu, who clinched gold at the 2022 Birmingham Games and missed a podium finish at the Paris 2024 Olympics, aims to reclaim top honors in the 76 kg weight class. Borgohain, a bronze medallist from Tokyo and a gold‑winning boxer at the 2023 World Championships, targets her first Commonwealth medal. Their leadership is expected to galvanise younger teammates as India eyes an expanded haul of medals in Glasgow.
